Is meme magic real?

Although memetics are anything but magick, it's a fairly interesting subject. I've read Dawkins papers on it but could anyone point me in the direction of other works that discuss memetics and viral thoughts?
I would appreciate it a ton.

Educate yourself, swine.

If you repeat any nonsense enough it seems to become reality, so yes.

Sometimes I take humor seriously. Sometimes I take seriousness humorously.

Either way is irrelevant.

No, meme magic is a fucking stupid idea that could only be conceived of by people from a society that knows magic is bullshit but still wants to believe in it.
>hurr its wrong but it still works if your dumb enough to believe it lol

Does the pope shit in the woods?

Hi there!

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

What makes you think these 'magical' memes aren't the constructs of verifiable realisms played out in typical conveyances?

>>17326323
anon I don't see your contribution to this thread. You're just complaining about tripcodes when you can turn them all off in settings.

Meme magic is an illegitimate attestation towards a current: the meming, while argued by some as being an aesthetic pursuit, and there through an amplifier of power; ultimately *replaces* gnosis, in that pattern recognition in itself usurps the navigation and ultimate *breaking* of patterns. If they're pouring energy into anything, it's a pseudo-Choronzon.

This, in turn, can be extrapolated à la "The Toxoplasma of Rage" into a commentary in re the nature of discourse in our "web 2.0, post-ironic" media culture: this corruption of pattern recognition replaces empathy sensu stricto, metastasizing into an aggressive categorization whereby *the act of reductionist categorization itself* becomes to source of pleasure, existentially and from peers.

That is, interaction is turned into a process of the projection of reinforced patterns onto others; ultimately, there is no in- nor out-group, as the "post-ironic" nature of this deconstructive outlook denies any non-solipsistic approach: there can be no 'Others' with whom to interact.

This would imply a Self; but the extreme detachment required ablates the Self without providing any meaningful substrate to reveal underneath, because that Other has been rejected; or, rather, rendered an inarticulable not-entity.

Ergo, the only meaningful methods of discourse are, essentially and alarmingly literally, memeing; that is, self-reduction as a counter-weapon to aggressive pattern-reinforcement, more as less as I've commented on before.

It is a strange 'new' sort of solipsism, as actors both aggressively recontextualise their surroundings against the metric of themselves; yet that metric is not themselves' as it requires constant input from like-minded Others, who cannot even exist due to the necessary denials thereof within that metric and praxis!

Go on 4plebs /pol/ and search "applied memetics". Anything not about marco rubio is written by me about it.

>>17326293
Memes call back to archetypes. Magic memes invoke them.

Yes memes involve magic and a form of control in them.

Also, take Lil B and Yung Lean for example, these are people who have used memes to their advantage (only two amongst hundreds of other people using the same tactics)
