i want to read something all-encompassing about memes as artful communication, broad storytelling, and clever attention redirect rather than "memes as warfare"
For a while the internet was architected in such a way that mostly words "went viral", then video came along - each of these architectural shifts was accompanied by shifts in how minds could be won
Memes, in the broadest sense, represent a new information class that's much more compelling.pic.twitter.com/LcKMsFF4q9
Memes introduce a new level of information density. Their self referential nature means that a video or picture can be used to call for inspection of the very architecture of idea or thought itself.pic.twitter.com/MiGTrpyHRz
Have you ever tried to explain a meme to a parent, or person who has otherwise missed the layers of necessary preface to understand the meme at hand? This is a perfect demonstration of the density of information within memes.pic.twitter.com/ZOQURAUm0d
Memes are about taking advantage of the networked structure of thought itself. They capitalize off of structure to cram the maximum amount of implications into the smallest unit of communication.pic.twitter.com/sgwhMtXWxG

Memes combine the referential power of words, art, and video structure all into one.
