Really makes you think...

We already found it. It's called Christianity.

What did he mean by this?

Give it the D.

We already found it. It's called Baneposting.

We already found it. It's called autism.

Is it Kilroy?

There is probably really some sequence of characters than we could type into a computer terminal, and the world would be a MUCH better place.

But no one know it and no one ever will. It would probably be something very complicated, like a bootstrapping AI with mind-bogglingly great solutions to all of the world's ethical and practical problems. Almost like a cheat code for the universe and probably morality itself.

Humans will never get there.

There's a Canadian movie called Pontypool about a meme that, when spread through speech, turns people into bloodthirsty maniacs.

What do you think?

Fascinating. There's also a Monty Python sketch about a joke that is so funny it's deadly.

thta's a big meme.

I think there is probably a meme like that, but it's too complex and specific for humanity to uncover.

It might also be surrounded (in meme-space) by other memes that are easier to uncover and distract from it or are dangerous.

We are probably in some local optimum of memetic evolution, probably also in genetic evolution, and could be in a much different stable place if we knew how to jump there.

>>8269940
The space of all possible combinations of memes, or memespace if you will, might not necessarily contain such a meme. This is why you can't have a genetic algorithm produce infinitely good solutions.

>>8271092
It doesn't have to be infinitely good. It just has to be good enough to fulfill the conditions.

>spread throughout the world over night
Very doable, especially in this technological age.
>give us unimaginable pleasure
Probably a specific subset of technological brain hacks, or similar technology.
>turn the world into a utopia of unprecedented moral worth
Probably AI code with some very specific optimization function that can bootstrap on internet resources.

Some combination of these is plausibly in meme-space.
