The Viral Mind: Memes as Idea-Viruses

In this episode of Beyond the Meme, we dive into the concept of
memes as idea-viruses, exploring how they replicate and spread
through culture much like biological viruses. From their contagious
appeal to their ability to shape collective thought, we uncover the
mechanics of memetic evolution. Highlighting examples like Slender
Man, we discuss how memes can blur the lines between fiction and
reality, influencing individual behavior and collective
consciousness. With a focus on Truth Terminal’s role in amplifying
and mutating ideas, this episode sheds light on the power and
responsibility behind meme creation and propagation.
