TIL that memes have been around since before the internet

[DooDiligence]

Someone recently asked me what a meme was. It's really interesting when you dig in. We're being hacked by bad actors. Reminds me of the cyberpunk novel "Snow Crash" by Neil Stephenson . Imagine the possibilities when we get to AGI. I'm hoping they're benevolent and do a big rug pull on malignant human agents.

Great article. I like his analogy of supply and demand happening simultaneously and the distorted signals it generates.

People have been doing crazy stuff because its funny for hundreds of years. On the big island of hawaii people scratched ridiculous drawings in cooling lava.

 

And more than 100 years ago my great-great grandfather registered one of the earliest brands for cattle in Alberta. It's the "2 bar quarter circle"

 

It looks like this
