Warhammer's world of the Warp is incredibly poignant in its analogical rendering of the memetic world / the world of ideology.
>"The Warp is a strange and terrible place. You might as well throw a traveller into a sea of sharks and tell him to swim home as send him through the Warp unprotected. Better it is not to let common man travel through the stars. Better still, let him not know such a thing is feasible."—Fra Safrane, 5th Aide to Navigator De'el.
This is so true for so many; to throw an unaware person into the full body of water that is theirs (and everyone elses) collective potential mind; it's like travelling through hell, or the endless abyss of the ocean.
There are monsters in there, horrors no normal person is equipped to deal with; a place where gods can be made from collective emotion and powers can be syphoned that give a man great power over his peers...
Is it any wonder at all the types of nerds on the internet obsessed with memes resonate so strongly with this franchise, as well as other similar concepts.
The matrix and redpills, Cthulhu; an old god of unfathomable nature sleeping in the darkest reaches of the ocean, the amphibious frog, who dips in and out of the water.
Ever seen a dog chase a frog into a pond?
You can see the look on the dogs face; its mind is utterly blown.
