>>8965053But this in itself is just a meme you have been incubating "everyone else is controlled by the memes, but I as the intellectual 4chan user am immune to the memes"
The memes, anon. The DNA of the Soul. They are inescapable, they control you this very moment, using you to proliferate themselves.
There are very few lucid people here, I know this because I am one of them.
>>8964880"I am too smart and too strong for memes to control my life" is a meme that has subjugated you and opened you up to influence from the memes.
>>8965161You are right, I did oversimplify the way this website is. But I think the oversimplification still holds when you compare to others.
>I would also argue that 4chan is not more vulnerable to "garbage ideas" than any other communityI would disagree, information is proliferated here at a rate that is simply not comparable to other platforms. Think about dumb internet slang and how it appears here, circulates for a little while and then is ejected into the wider internet. This place IS a breeding ground for memes.
>social consequences only enforce popular ideas, not good ideasI ask you this, where is the difference?
The most powerful meme is the most popular meme and therefore the best meme.
What is best for society? Nobody can say, you can only share your favorite memes and hope they take hold over the competing memes. So ultimately, it's nothing to worry about.
