Memes Of The Future | |
| synchro
Offer Upgrade  User ID: 4158105  United States02/06/2015 06:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If anything like memes still exist and are used 50 years from now, what might they be? satire of political events? popular tv shows? cult movies? How about a person’s direct physical sensations or perceptions? I read somewhere that memes of the future might be taken directly from a person’s feelings or perception of things. Taken directly from the mind. first kiss thrill of first skydive riding a motorcycle <insert feeling to be shared here> Who would they be shared with? Would they be a private share only for close friends, or for a bigger audience of general friends and associates? How would they be transmitted? Would we have an interface in our heads, or would an interface be made that can access our brians?  Last Edited by synchro on 02/06/2015 08:05 PM |

(OP) User ID: 4158105 United States02/06/2015 07:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | a great thread. Quoting: beeches memes are not much to me - just impressions of a given time, codified in instantly recognizable forms. but I prefer sentences, and words! Thank you! I've always been fascinated by how people communicated with images and short animations to either enhance their text or as a standalone conveyance. Being able to send your perception of an entire experience (what it felt like, how you felt while it happened, etc.) would take it to a whole other level don't you think?

No room for anything other than conformity. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 67563835 Stimulation to the point of mass distraction. If an experience that came from your own mind could be sent to a friend or someone you wished to share it with, what might it be? |

Perhaps you could have it pre-screened by an AI who knows your preferences and warn you if it contained anything that might be too overwhelming. Or, create a buffer so that it can be processed gradually...  |

User ID: 28167778 United States02/07/2015 10:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Anyone up for discussing how sending direct experiences from your mind to others would be compared with today's memes? Quoting: synchro  it would be thought/feeling transference - you would think what I would think, simultaneously. it is what I believe happens in Heaven. no need for words, languages, interpreters - the meaning would be instantly understood and felt. this is also related to the story of the ziggurat of Babel. Humankind has wished for this - easier understanding - for a long time. as for a filter, yeah, would be needed here. the specter of hacking and mind control would be great. Whose thoughts would have priority? All cannot be transmitted at once.  Last Edited by beeches on 02/07/2015 10:58 AM Liberalism is totalitarianism with a human face – Thomas Sowell |
