    • Quotes

      Self - Psychologist and Memetist: The whole idea of memes comes from Richard Dawkins' 1976 book, "The Selfish Gene." Most of the book is about what he called "universal Darwinism," which said, "All of biology is driven by genes, but culture is driven by memes." He said, "Look around you and you'll see, floating about in the primeval soup of culture, is information copied by imitation from person to person." So that would include chairs... trousers... hairstyles. All of these things are only here because humans have copied them, and the ones around us are the winners in an evolutionary battle. And then, gradually, came the concept of Internet memes. And people can easily see that process happening with Pepe. Pepe is a wonderful example of a meme that escaped out there into the meme-osphere and suffered all the things you'd expect of a meme.

    memehacking has been around for thousands of years, Furie actually gave more publicity and notice to those he opposes
    Other than broadly showing the artist, Matt Furie, whose illustration became a meme, doesn't understand the internet and modern culture, and in fact doesn't understand what Richard Dawkins meant in coining the term "meme," I am not sure what the point of this film was. And if people from across the political spectrum, including despicable extreme right and despicable extreme left adopt visual art that has morphed into public domain through meme, what is the point of saying some can use it and others cannot? Modern "memehacking" is so widespread. In fact memehacking is the heir to visual satire that has been around since shortly after cave painting. The very first image of Jesus ever, he is depicted as part animal on a cross with a donkey's head (google: Alexamenos Graffito). The Uncle Sam "I want You" was altered as antiwar satire when that was the opposite of its creation purpose. The irony is that Chinese censors used the copyright issue to shut down memes during the Hong Kong protests.
