There are memes that came about in mania that can be embodied after after being harvested

back to this paper on memes as replicators it says memes like genes are judged against one simple unambiguous criterion their ability to perpetuate themselves in the prevailing environment if possible or by modifying their environment if necessary I think this is where embodying once mania comes in a little bit too is that there might have been some memes that came about in mania that can be embodied after after being harvested and also this would change the environment too so if I need to go out and about in order to do random acts of kindness that's going to change the environment in which I am genetically expressing myself matically and experimenting with some of those means and I think mania is like a big experiment with different memes and it's a meme creating process it's a learning process it's like another brain growth I think that society needs to be designed in a different way to actually support some of these memes so people that have visions and creative insights there needs to be a way for people to collaborate together to to change society and also society needs to change in order to support some of these other memes and say the fact that there are a lot of highly sensitive people out there and I think part of what gets changed in the process of epi mimetics and endo mimetics when one is in mania is that one sees that other things are possible and that's when the reasons why people need to retest reality and retest gravity and retest one's abilities it's almost like when we're children and how we need to climb on a chair and fall off in order to feel the effects of that happens again when a person goes into that learning state that innocence of mind but from that space one can actually create new memes and prune the memes that aren't helpful and one might end up ruining oneself back to someone that resembles what one was before but there's still a growth in that process and i mentioned how the paper says symbiotic memes which promote behavior adaptive for both themselves and the genes will be doubly successful in the long term for genes will design brains or epigenetic rules to be receptive or creative of such memes and I think what goes along with that is that in manic consciousness one is actually in the state of creating new memes constantly all the time yet right now as it is the people that have those brains that actually go into hyper mimetics get diagnosed with a mental illness and then put on medication that suppresses that process so then we don't learn about the process and we don't facilitate one moving through it because of the false statements out there about it getting worse over time and things like that and I've gone into that process three more times since the very initial one and each time it's been more and more mild and quicker and if I was put on stronger and stronger medications each time I don't know if that would have been the case it probably would have appeared as worse and worse I read somewhere else to a cam remember where it was but it talked about how this process of map consciousness is probably probably has a socio biological function not yet recognized and I think that's true it's something to do with the socialness and the biology and and maybe part of it is actually that we're supposed to make meaning and have dialogue with each other not just argue over opinions and beliefs we're actually supposed to be creative in our perceptions and talk about them look if I would have someone with me the whole time I'm in that hyper mimetic state we would sort of be comparing memes and and making memes and saying what we saw and perceive like a big grand experiment like we are the experimenters and I feel like part of the shift part of this transformation is going from words to being and perception and it's not just going from words to being in perception but going from being used by words by memes that are reinforcing the DNA of those memes which are the meanings we've been given by soci
