My GF is writing a novella on a Ball jointed Doll coming alive. She was going to call it 'shelling'.She's never Seen Ghost in the Shell...

I don't know why more people don't see that memes can try to take a life of their own - to reach out from 'the void' into our world.

But then, maybe it's just my position in the network. I can see that it's not a metaphor because I've found myself at strange crossing.

I still remember fondly getting a bad grade in science class b/c of explaining evolution and genetics in terms of ideas and viruses.

Two meanings: One is the pair of tweets he liked, the other is the notion of "meme markets" and the uncomfortable way that was truncated 🤔

There's a theory that suggest 'prediction markets' past a certain scale, naturally induce "bets this person will die". Quite upsetting. https://t.co/K7eTDr16Sn

@visakanv I have a suspicion that language isn't something uniquely human, but we can't see past our own noses to understand what it is.
