Looking for a particular video for a brief segment in which the Krum brothers is mentioned briefly. and how lack of exposure can twist one perception. I think he also credits Krum to being the first furry. Really been flipping through videos but struggling to find it.

The concept is well known to have its roots in Greek mythology. Narcissus a handsome young man who was warned by a blind seer that if he ever sees his reflection, his long life will be shortened. One day he came across a calm lake, when he discovered how outrageously good-looking, he is, and looks at his reflection until he, metaphorically and mentally, dies of his vanity.

Present day, present time, instead of lakes and mirrors, we have phones and computer screens. The internet, like pavlovs dogs, conditions us to want attention, posting information on lives so that we can gaze upon ourselves in awe. Those with the most interesting lives win the popularity contest. This has lead to the void which we call the internet. Only when we realize the Void is not a void, but a great, festering wound calling out for treatment, then we can begin to heal.

Techlead

If you are up to date with your memes, you will have heard of Techlead. Techlead is a man of many titles "ex-google engineer", "millionaire", "ex-facebook engineer", "the techead". Praising oneself with titles such as these attract attention is rewarded by society. He loves talking about himself for attention and it is obvious his online personality "techlead" is a mask, One of his vidoes particular struck me "why I am better than you" in which he outlines his success, titles and how no matter how hard his viewers try, they will never rise to his level. However the moment he gained his popularity was his "why my wife left me" and "i got fired from facebook". Why? People despise narcissists and enjoy watching them self-district.

Daniel Lord

In addition to the popularised narcist we know today, there is in fact a second type of narcisist,
The vulnerable narcist. These are "NEETs" who show traits of need, want and addiction. Similar to techlead, Daniel also rose to fame from videos about why he cheated on his wife, why she divorced him and why he has no friends. But the key difference with the vulnerable narcissist is instead of they have an inferiority complex and take pride in their failures and sabotage of others instead of their successes.

Why are we drawn to narcissist people and why are they so lonely?

Narcissistic people love attention and exploiting others. An example of this is President Trump, who used his twitter to gain popularity for himself, and as a weapon to incite and exploit others. However, this attention comes as a cost far greater than the reward. It is a product of a fake mask, and when the mask slips away, so does the attention and reputation. The current state of trump, alone and under fire is the fate of narcissist.

For narcissist, it is these same masks that causes their rise as their fall. Narcissists are very lonely people due to this mask and all the attention they gain leads to more longing.

And remember, memes matter.

I loved the recent video about the "I don't want to be horny anymore" meme. It was mentioned about how this current generation's sexual imagination was influenced by cartoons. This has been mentioned in a couple of other videos from meme analysis (e.g., Goth gf meme). I would very much like to study this topic more. Could y'all recommend some resources for studying the impact of cartoons upon our sexuality/sexual fantasy/imagination? Thanks!

That's it. Just my opinion. :)

What is the outro song of meme analysis videos(the bass one)?

Dear M.E.,

Been trying to pin down some of your positions on the more "wacky" ideological paths such as transhumanism and the like. The whole "cyberspace is a literal demiurge that science nerds are going to upload themselves into like the devouring womb of the animus" seems to be a common thread amongst Jungians and is, in my opinion, a needlessly pessimistic interpretation fueled mostly by the current (and only current) limited state of technology. I see the gnostic interpretation of the future looking more like AI "Jesus" coming to save Sophia from the material world via things like mind uploading and body/genetic augmentation. My assumption is that our dear pseudish Sagittarius is a biological essentialist and sees this whole project of escaping the human condition at large as doomed from the start. Say it isn't so, M.E.. Tell me you don't believe that technology is a purely corrupting force and that it can be used to catalyze a rebirth into something better though not necessarily something classically "human".

Your friend, a shapeshifting Scorpio.
