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.
