đšTHE ORIGIN OF MEMES: HOW IDEAS EVOLVE AND SPREAD
The word âmemeâ comes from Richard Dawkinsâ 1976 book The Selfish Gene.
Dawkins described memes as âunits of cultural transmission,â comparing how ideas, behaviors, and trends spread to how genes replicate in biology.
@elonmusk :
âMemes are a modern form of cultural communicationâfar more powerful than people realize.â
Thatâs why one Pepe can move markets, and Doge can become a government office...
Memes arenât just funnyâtheyâre the evolution of ideas in real-time.
