The main thing you seem to misunderstand is that it doesn't matter what the originator of an idea _meant_ with it, so long as the idea evolves on it's own merit. He is not the authority of his own idea, once shared successfully it copies into people's minds and evolves/devolves depending on environment. Which coincidently goes against your point. Most modern theories were originated by people who only got it sort-of right. Often due to the limits of their times and instruments, but still.

These kids all look hungover and bored 😂 Imagine being the person who first theorizes a concept that will define the first half of the 21st century and the crowd can barely stay awake to realize the significance.

You know the way memes work is eerily similar to how evolution works. Random memes are made every day but eventually they survive the popularity contest through a selective agent that being us.

Memes have become a ubiquitous part of internet culture, with millions of people sharing and creating them every day. A meme is a cultural artifact that spreads through the internet, often in the form of an image, video, or text that is humorous, satirical, or ironic. Memes are often used to express emotions, opinions, or ideas in a way that is relatable and entertaining. One of the most popular memes of recent years is the "distracted boyfriend" meme. This meme features a stock photo of a man looking at another woman while his girlfriend looks on in disapproval. The image has been used to represent a variety of situations, from political scandals to pop culture references. The "distracted boyfriend" meme is a prime example of how memes can be used to comment on social and cultural issues. The image has been used to criticize everything from infidelity to political corruption, and has become a shorthand for the idea of distraction and temptation. Another popular meme is the "doge" meme, which features a picture of a Shiba Inu dog with captions written in broken English and Comic Sans font. The doge meme is known for its absurdity and randomness, and has been used to express a wide range of emotions, from joy to confusion. The popularity of memes can be attributed to their ability to tap into the collective consciousness of internet users. Memes often reflect the current cultural zeitgeist, and can be used to comment on everything from politics to pop culture. They are also a way for people to connect with each other and share a common experience. However, memes are not without their controversies. Some memes have been criticized for perpetuating harmful stereotypes or promoting hate speech. Others have been accused of trivializing serious issues or making light of tragedy. Despite these criticisms, memes continue to be a popular form of expression on the internet. They are a way for people to connect with each other and share a laugh, and have become an important part of internet culture. As long as they are used responsibly and respectfully, memes will continue to be a powerful tool for communication and self-expression.

The covid memes in my head are triggered so much by all the coughing in that room, god.

I always get transported when I reflect on the idea that we (our selves) are not "thinking thoughts", but rather "thoughts are thinking us", i.e. ideas (memes) relate to our minds as genes relate to our bodies, i.e. it's not personalities that are the agents of cultural evolution, but the memes. On my money (I teach acting) it is a very viable and useful idea. In practice, it translates as "You are what you think". And most actors know that. So for "common" people, there might be a problem looking at yourself this way. Because a "self" is a very deep-rooted meme itself, and its main function is to fight back all the memes that endanger its existence. So... good luck transcending your self. ;)

YES, YES, YES I thought of this as well!

A tune, or style of dress, would not be exactly copied (or replicated) because each person would slightly individualize the tune or clothing. It would be altered by the recipient and put back into the world in some altered form. It would be altered by the individuals personal preference, individual history---that would change a note, a tempo, based on how the person experiences it and likes or dislikes it. The individual brain selects patterns, differently. It is an aspect of creativity and individuality.

You should read The revolutionary phenotype

Imagine if one day we come up with a meme which can affect our psychologycal being like a contagious virus able to use it as a lethal weapon like (t-virus) it would be another step in advancement of our civilization.

I lf I was born as a Meme, that would make My parents... Memey and Danky!

Are ideas really copied from one person's brain to another? What about the person receiving the meme? Don't they have any say in whether or not it's copied? An idea that fits into your world view and supports it, becomes incorporated, and may become one of your beliefs. It's just more evidence that you're right. However, an idea that doesn't sound right to you gets recorded merely as "I've heard of that" but not incorporated into your model of the world. Particular ideas or memes will take hold in people who are predisposed to them. You don't always need a particular idea. But when someone says something that plugs a hole or solves a problem for you, you get an instant gratification. When this solves a problem for many people, the meme can go viral and multiply and spread as far and as fast as the communication network allows. So, it's not an intrinsic property of the idea (like the molecular structure of a virus), but how well it fits into a gap in understanding, and how many people need to fill the gap at that particular time.

The word meme has become autological.

But you could argue that many people see the same meme, which is pretty much it replicating in the perception of many people.

I'll will put the deviations of most scientific theories from their common source Parmenides in order, even if I don't speak ancient Greek at all, nor English as a native speaker, not because I understand Bulgarian better than any other language, but because it is the shared understanding of the order in which singular ideas are arranged in sentences that matters, and not the shared understanding of a particular term; say, singularity or being, generated and replicated respectively with astonishing similarly in meaning, despite the "significant" cultural gab after more than two thousand years of human "evolution".

I bet people are watching this because they also wanted to hear him say the word meme.
