Which book outlines how people making memes don't get Venn diagrams?

A lot of these don't make sense where they are.

[-] makeshiftreaper@lemmy.world 34 points 4 months ago

You're telling me the intersection of fascist doublethink, media illiteracy, and militant misogyny isn't Lord of the Flies? Or that one of the biggest pieces of mainstream transgender media has little overlap with Handmaid's Tale?

That's not really how Venn (or Euler) diagrams work.

This doesn't make any sense at all. I'd love to be on GATTACA but we are most definitely not

[-] xantoxis@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Gattaca is a parable about racism, in-groups vs out-groups, and the need to keep the powerful from seeing what you really are inside. We've basically always been there.

That's what you took from it? I took the developing space colonies on Saturn, whatever miracle space engine development they got that allows them to get to Titan in One year, whatever security measures they have that allows them to get into orbit without any kind of spacesuit, the wholesale pervasive electric cars, implied sexual dysmorphism cures, the retro noir aesthetic, the possibility of having kids with the best chances at not having congenital diseases and the main character sheer determination on pursuit of his dreams and his sheer disregard for the security of the people depending on him while suffering from a congenital cardiac issue.

What a legend

Like a pizza cutter this is all edge and no point

If I was in the middle of that and over 30 I wouldn't be there.

I mean, it's happening worldwide. As each next one falls, and worse perhaps joins with the others, it will spread even further. Like a pandemic of an idea. Although perhaps there's hope on the other side, since it seems too late to stop it now but after the afterwards there will be ways to build anew. Anyway the important thing, in my mind at least, is to learn and grow from it all.

oof way too complicated

What's Beelzebub to do with it?
