"Talk about memetica is a rhetorical historiography of the present – a historiography that is contemporaneous, a form of journalism or field research reporting.
We have investigative reporting on the ground but also in the sky – helicoptering over the scene, except that the view from the sky goes much further than that – to a space station or satellite. And the view goes the other way too: we’re on a fantastic voyage through our veins, digging into atoms, etc. But this historiography is rhetorical. It’s both descriptive and constructive. It instructs and informs. It also seeks to stimulate and provoke. I’m ultimately seeking here to get you to see things partly how I see them, if only for the time you’re reading this. These are notes and observations from memetica – los estados unidos de memetica." -Fragments of Memetica, No. 4. [20200925] Comments are closed.
