I've thought about this. I remember in like third or fourth year
of university, I had, you know, I've long believed that like tracking tracking
the hemisphere. Is like super? Yeah, there's a lot of information there, you
know. And I started looking into, okay, if you could, if you could basically
have, you know, a sort of model/algorithm or whatever, they can classify memes.
Because, you know, most movies have the same format, they're just different
texts or whatever. And so if you're, if your algorithm can, you know, follow
like a bunch of Instagram pages, Facebook pages, Reddit and stuff like that, and
it can, it can group memes by format, then you can kind of track which formats
like on the app, which formats are on the down, or there's actually, there's a
subreddit called Meme Economy, where people like to sort of jokingly buy and
sell, you know, place bets like I think this meme's is gonna be hot, like, the
next two weeks or so they go like sell, sell, sell. So this idea of like
tracking the popularity of different meme formats as they sort of come and go, I
think that's pretty interesting. I think I, the thing I'm trying to get at is
that the words actually matter, because it's a lot of the same narratives, just
expressed in different meme formats. And yeah, I think a meme letter would be
interesting. I feel like someone, I've only seen a couple of these. Yeah, it's
cool. On like, yeah, maybe maybe framing it in terms of invisible narratives
was, is not quite the way I want to do it. But I think, I think I'll ask him the
question, why is this meme? Why would this meme be cathartic for someone? Is the
right question to be asking. Because, I mean, okay, some things are just like,
pure, just like funny. Some things are just like jokes that are just really
funny. But when you see, when you see certain trends in the kinds of the things
that different memes insinuates, and you see, like a trend of like, a bunch of
music trying to insinuate x thing, then I think, ask the question, okay, who
might this be cathartic for? And why would this be a cathartic thing for
someone? For example, the introversion extroversion thing, I think a lot of I
mean, this thing about not liking people, you know, some similar stuff around
it, sort of lots of memes that insinuates that, you know, what everyone else
wants to do is kind of go out and party, but what I want to do is actually just
sit home alone, you know, with a book or one and watch a movie or something.
Hahaha, I'm so quirky kind of thing.
