In my previous essay, I mentioned that life has developed a way to preserve patterns or only sections of reality in order to comprehend the crazy amount of data that reality contains. The memes we produce as humans are made easier to pack and spread thanks to this life hack. Memes are discrete, tightly packed bits of information.
is a term referring to a unit of cultural information transferable from one mind to another.
Reality is astoundingly complex. Memes are a tool for domesticating rational and realistic reasoning. We shape civilization through the memes we create. Memes, like any other tool, must be both space and time efficient. This has been done many times in a range of mediums in the past (knowingly or unknowingly). From Sulawesi cave paintings to Newton's laws of motion, Viktor Kossakovsky's Aquarela, and Zain Memon's Shasn are all attempts to achieve this.
My question is,
How can I create the most immersive and knowledge-dense meme?
This seems like a simple question. Take note of the word knowledge. I believe the word knowledge elevates it above trivial. Don't conflate knowledge with data. Knowledge is truth based on evidence. Information backed by an explanation.
