Thinking in memes isn’t going to lead us to a better world.

Least we can do is downvote it.

The thing itself speaks seemingly a truth though: growing up too coddled will risk a twisted perspective of what you deserve and what's a given.
Seemingly? Do you have any indication that this is a consistent pattern in the world outside of imagination?
Rich kids with inherited wealth are always perfectly fine and reasonable people?
They overwhelmingly do better than their poorer peers, yes. Anectdote vs statistics.
If you think that it's just an imagination, the universe will make you physically feel what it really is. Not all at once, but gradually, drop by drop. And then, you'll learn the true meaning of another "meme" word: ignorance.
Or you’ll find out that strong men thinking in memes create even worse times.
In any case, that's the beauty of life: we live the consequences. Both sweet and bitter, depending on choices of the past.
Most of what happens to us is by chance, not by choice. And when it's by choice, its often not our own choice.
The annoying part is when I’ve got to live with the consequences of someone else’s choices.
Thinking in memes is exactly what the right is doing. It’s short, succinct and pretty much a termination point for all further thought on the matter.
