I’m contemplating developing a mind virus that irreversibly invests its hosts in opposites, or calibrating in response to. It has to be a stealth mind virus. Stealth in the way that the source of it can’t be identified or narrowed down outside of any example host.

The virus has to embed, transform, and not just have the emergent quality of appearing native in origin to the host, but in practice defy all attempts to understand it as originating elsewhere.

It’s a tough one.

Where do I start?

Yes tough.

You’re an ideas man.

Call yourself “George Orwell”, write a book called “1984”, and call your meme “doublethink”.

In other words, it’s been done.

You don’t think you invented this idea, do you? You both did and didn’t, that’s doublethink.

meeeow

I was exploring the tendency to see things in opposites rather than flipsides. Which to me aren’t the same thing.

I don’t know what this means:

Television can do that, can leave people paralysed for hours.

Religion too

Horrible

I read it as a doublethink meme. Where “Doublethink is the act of simultaneously accepting two mutually contradictory beliefs as correct”.

television the drug of the nation

Mollwoll is right.

It’s not about doublethink.

Meme’s are like a mind virus, they seem surprisingly easy to influence false beliefs in people
