The nature of memes

"reality is made of language,
if you know the words the world is made of, you can make of it whatever you wish
The brain is essentially a reality generator, a general purpose world engine. Those 300 million pattern recognition modules (1), general purpose in-game cameras essentially, tune into objects of relevance, and connect the world to a vast network of knowledge, hierarchical tree structures, a world, cameras, and knowledge.

These cameras can be tuned, their information re-defined, semantically informed. Explore, discover, and share ideas about the world, memes, in-game objects. Tune your attention to whatever turns you on, turn on, literarily, cognitive modules, qBit microtubules, a cultural dimension - memes (2) - an atlas of clouds, dreams painted onto the world.
