The Largest Living Parasite Is Using You

You didn't choose most of what's in your head. You caught it — and right now those ideas are using you to reproduce.This is a breakdown of The Art of Memetics by Wes Unruh and Edward Wilson (2008) — a strange fusion of marketing, cybernetics, and occult theory that treats ideas as living things competing for space inside your mind. We trace how a meme hijacks your perception until you stop seeing it, how beliefs cluster into "egregores" — group-mind entities like religions, governments, and immortal corporations that wear millions of people as a body — and how the modern feed turned this slow process into the fastest evolutionary engine ever built. You'll leave with one diagnostic question sharp enough to use on any thought you have: whose idea is this?00:00 - The Idea as a Parasite02:43 - What is a Meme?
