    5. used by immigration activists, because of how far it travels

      The lengths that the monarch butterfly takes. Flying through different envrioments, encountering different roadblocks, and making it through over a period of a time.

    6. The symbol she created was a monarch butterfly with half its wing being an open book, to showcase the intersectionality between immigration and education

      Immigration and education

    7. through stories and art, I came to learn there is more joy and strength to the immigration experience than we choose to confront

      There is much more to the expeince than just suffering of not being able to be there without papers. There is dreams, accomplishments, hope, and celebration

    1. the rejection of classical filmmaking, with a focus on experimental and/or avant-garde techniques

      Such as mutiple cuts in for a certain scene to showcase time moving forward, speaking to the view in Perrot Le Fou

    2. characterized by its rejection of traditional filmmaking conventions in favor of experimentation and personal expression

      The Auteur Theory: An auteur is a filmmaker whose individual style and complete control over all elements of production give a film its personal and unique stamp

      Meant to be toghether in regular stories

    2. Bridget Jones's Diary as examples of a female character negotiating, and then ultimately choosing, her companion

      Oh yeah. FUCK, right. Bridget Jones. The first film between those guys. They fought to be with her at the end. Her hot and rich boss and the other guy that i dont remember

    3. A good love triangle film should make viewers reconsider their own thoughts on sex, relationships and love.

      Cause in real life finding a love triangle like that is near impossible to regular folks. Even in the queer community you will find that only in certain places if you know where to look.

    4. She is in love with her neighbour, Gabriel, the boyfriend of one of her only French friends Camille

      Taboo in the sense that its morally wrong in the majority of the publics eye. Though a high percentage of the proably have fallen in love with their best friend's parnther at one point in time.

    5. Jules is so concerned that Catherine might leave his life forever that he gives the couple their blessing

      A cuck essintially. Not wanting her to leave so he allows her to mess with other dudes

    6. It's a very romantic film, without becoming a romantic comedy or a conventional romantic melodrama," explains Dr Richard Neupert

      I gotta agree on that. You just don't get classical tropes. Its something new.

    7. ménage à trois

      a domestic arrangement or committed relationship consisting of three people in polyamorous romantic or sexual relations with each other

    1. that enters viewers’ lives like a lover—a masterpiece you can really get a crush on.

      I have a crush on this film, the story. Not Catherine since she is just a person made up by the male gaze but the story is just so intimate and beautiful.

    2. farce

      A comic dramatic work using buffoonery and horseplay and typically including crude characterization and ludicrously improbable situations.

    3. But this was 1962, and while the New Wave may have been reinventing cinema, French censors weren’t ready to reinvent bourgeois morality

      I guess so. I didn't know that man

    4. forbidding viewers under the age of eighteen from seeing Jules and Jim because of its “immoral character”

      Oh banned age ristricted this film to those 18 and up

    5. the two men’s shifting perceptions of her, perceptions that rearrange but never destroy their glowing friendship.

      She lead the story even which is funny considering the two men are in the title while she isn't

    6. I don’t want to be understood.” And this is absolutely true.

      No one will understand her. And people will always wnat to lurk into the unknown. Thats what makes her so mesmerizing

    7. Seine

      A fishing net which hangs vertically in the water with floats at the top and weights at the bottom edge, the ends being drawn together to encircle the fish.

    8. Catherine becomes one of the modern movies’ triumphant characterizations—the anima as autocrat

      Or just a female lead who is what the female part of a male would look like.

    9. Time and again, she literally dresses herself in the garb of masculinity.

      She is queer in my book just for the way she indulges in polymerous relationships.

    10. claiming for herself the reckless male freedoms that women have been traditionally denied

      I like that way of see it. To back up this we can use that scene when they are heading home from a play and Catherine plunges into the reviver just because she can.

    11. statue

      Foreshawdowing the creature they are going to me. This statue that just left them speechless and aweing at it for hours. Keeping their thoughts to themselves

    12. Jules, who’s too low-key and dull to keep her,

      Me for real. I will never be with someone again. My one and only who went into the clouds of dreams

    13. Henri-Pierre Roché

      The film is based off of this author's book that went by the same year. And it seems he has had this book in mind ever since he started to make films. It was only a matter of time till he did

  3. Mar 2025
    1. We need more films about sensible women who come into men's lives and teach them important lessons about diverse portfolio investments

      Take that fucking finance bros

    2. Allen based a lot of Annie Hall on Diane Keaton, who, as far as I know, is a real person and not a ridiculous male fantasy

      Okay okay i see... he sorta had my thought on that. These people do exist though they aren't one-dimensional. Unless. well maybe its possible. Just need to find a white gal who is just free spirited like that

    3. She's a quirky, one-dimensional free spirit

      People aren't just born like that unless your doing it for dramatic purposes and figuring out ones past. But if you just create a one-dimensional free spirt it displays this false narrative of women or people who share this trait. free spirited people do exist but there is a reason as to why.

    4. it's become a catch-all description for the sort of idealised kooky female archetype who breezes into about 80% of all indie movies and rescues the male protagonist from a life of existential ennui with her endearing yet massively impractical commitment to living in the moment.

      I somewhat love this though. Not cause they are a female but cause of that happy go lucky, free spirited soul. Though the charcters are even better when they have some sort of complexltity like Catherine in Jules et Jim or like in Bonnie and Clyde with Bonnie.

    5. match.com

      What the majoity straight male population thinks a good looking women is. Big eyes, and a unhealthy obsession with the ukulele or guitar. Or flute maybe. The entirely of the TOP population, jk

    6. kooky, free-spirited female characters who pop up in movies to transform the lives of miserable men

      Surely there must be something that the girl gains than just being a pretty looking character with unique traits? Thats how we can fix it. Adding both sides and layers to why they are like that. And also, the men should not be so miserable perhaps? I mean im not sure cause look, these types of siuations happen in real life. Like me, but i didn't see through Sophias happy facade to being with her and help her when she was in misery

    7. Manic Pixie Dream Girls

      Manic Pixie Dream Girls. Need to avoid making charcters like these since their somewhat dated. Or maybe i can use some of these traits but have them super layered. Instead of them just free spirited and kooky

    1. Do love and destiny hinge on something as random as a missed date? Catherine is missing from the title but she dominates the movie.

      She is the shovel that digs the road for these two fellas to walk on.

    2. And perhaps the film’s meaning resides in that idea of a fatal whirlwind

      The meaning being? Don't fall for crazy women? Becareful who you fall for, looking out for the writing on the walls.

    3. she empties out a bottle of sulphuric acid she had been meaning to take along in her suitcase (“for the eyes of men who tell lies”).

      Insane person. Not even gonna mention women, just a person who isn't all there. Though, this could still be part of the male gaze. I guess men like crazy women?

    4. flimsiness

      the quality of being very thin, or easily broken or destroyed. Jules is a charcter who becomes very indecisive at the end and Jim just doesn't bother fighting for himself anymore. Just going with the wind and whatever Catherine wants.

    5. manic pixie dream girl,

      Look into this for creating characters especially my female lead role model. But what the Manic pixie dream girl is a female character who is quirky and free-spirited who pop up in films to help miserable men lives become better... sophia did make my life better but i want to alsk highlight her struggles. Making a cahrcter to represent her.

    6. friendship an antiwar fable, Catherine symbolising what they vitally have in common

      LMFAO yeah one can see it ask that. Everyone has something in common, why fight? Type saying... which is true. Once can see it ask that. I wouldn't use it in my films due to it being outdated but then again, look at challengers.

    7. So is Jules et Jim a secret queer love story?

      What? I mean maybe, they were a little queer ish but i think thats just two very close friends who care about each other while also having some differences

    8. must fight on opposite sides

      Even with this conflict that was out of their control they managed. Somehow not killing each other during the war. Austrian vs Frenchmen

    9. her beauty and wild freedom

      What makes Catherine so special and mesmerizing to this inseparable duo. They crave this type of women they they find through their ideological beliefs about women's role in society and being able to share their art with someone so wildly different from others.

    10. Both men fall for the same bohemian

      A event that i've seen happen and one that i have experienced myself in my early stages of understanding what love is. Something that i don't see often in cinema even though i see it happen a lot in real life. People or best friends falling for this same "one of a kind" gal.

  4. Feb 2025
    1. We don’t think that’s the right tone to get people over the line.”

      Yes exactlu. That is what im talking about. Don't show these type of narratives anymroe because it desensties us.

    2. The academy also started an initiative, Planet Placement, exhorting film and television content creators to help “make positive environmental behaviors mainstream.” With screen industries’ massive reach, they said, “it’s a chance to shape society’s response to climate change.”

      Yes. we need more organizations and groups in film to help bring a real sense of the scene.

    3. it is not easy to find a story that franchise-addicted studios will release.

      Take in scorcesse's word about franchise hungry people bro. I hate those types of movie goers

    4. it is hard to find financing for movies that risk being real downers and challenge audiences to change their ways. Because mass extinction is soul-crushing and people seek out entertainment to escape.

      I fucking hate that. What i used to think cinema was... now i see cinema in another light.

    5. opining that environmentalists made for ideal bad guys because they want to make our lives worse by banning straws, large families, plane travel and red meat.

      There is this side of the issue. Think back to FMA 254 where in that one film about envriomentalist and how we are machines but not at the same time. People claim that these rules being set out to save the envrioment are merely just a disguise so that worlds governments will control us further. This conspericy

    6. Almost none of these films depict a successful transformation of society

      So dang true. Though in Weathering With You you kinda sorta see a sucessful transformtion.. not in the way you think though. So even They adapt to the weather. A society has transformed. Though i don't think i will use this to back up my claim. well actually i think i will use it as a rebuttal.

    7. eco-mindedness is the driving force of villains

      Wait.... holy shit. is that true? I need to remember what... oh yeah. Look at Blade Runner 2049... where they let all the wealthy people live in the city in which is thriving and let all the outcast where the trash is... i need to fitre out a better example.

    8. Barring that, they face hardscrabble, desperate lives on a once verdant Earth now consumed by ice or drought.

      What they once had, knowing and craving it

    9. destroys half of the universe because intelligent species are consuming too many resources in “Avengers: Infinity War.”

      In a way this does bring up the issue of climate change.

    10. But critics say the industry needs to show how society can reform its ways.

      Yes while there is villians in the real world, people will tend to not blame or see themselves as the issue. They may acholoke it but like that won't change their ways all the time. When one see a violent big villian they see of what is wrong because of them. That doesn't really portray the micro issues or expreinces of human stories. In a way it sorta desensitizes us or makes us less aware about how climate change is caused by us. As the other article states, we are not eveil but we are all guilty

    1. The more subtle shifts in our everyday weather will alter the fabric of daily life itself, driven partly by our own well-meaning desires.

      Yes. We can't just generalize how bad it is. That isn't how regular people will understand how much we influnce the weather. WE must do it in a way that is on a micro level like this film you know. Even if its fightong for love. It can still affect us in a way. It makes us think about what is going on in our own lifes that leads to destrcution.

    2. monsoons

      a seasonal prevailing wind in the region of South and Southeast Asia, blowing from the southwest between May and September and bringing rain (the wet monsoon ), or from the northeast between October and April (the dry monsoon ).

    3. So what if the film’s themes are intangible? So too are human emotions. We do not live bound to single overarching narratives. Our feelings are often illogical, even self-contradictory. Perhaps Shinkai displays uncommon wisdom by exploring the climate change era through elusive feeling rather than moral lecture.

      Ouuuuu that is one way of seeing it for sure

    4. Their reasons for asking Hina to bring sunshine reflect the same reasons we burn fossil fuels today,

      Its just supposedly easier you know. We may tell ourselves.

    5. No matter how well-meaning the dozens of weather wishes that Hina and Hodoka fulfilled, their result is an irreversibly-flooded Tokyo that leaves everyone worse off.

      Cough cough politicans and elites

    6. in short, to improve our lives and seek happiness.

      We are selfish creatures. Going back to the notion that everyone is guilty but we aren't intentionally guilty

    7. determined to climb out of poverty

      That is true. Think back to globalization, MAX 132. Where third world nations said they don't have the resources nor money to spend in or to go green. Theres to much people at stake inr order to this small time sacfirice that woudl affect many. Cause going green does cause a lot. Also, these nations just don't want to be at the bottom. They want to grow and be wealthy, whatever that may look like

    8. Shinkai asks us to more closely examine our own conflicting sentiments.

      True. Our own conflicting sentiments. Do we like this warmer weather? Do we like these dryer days? Do we want to go back to how it was? Is the cost of all this gonna be worth it?

    9. Towards the film’s climax, we discover that Hina’s ability comes at a cost. Whether the needs of Tokyo — if not all of Japan — take priority over the pair’s own feelings and dreams becomes the dramatic focus of the final act.

      The climax of the story

    10. Everyday weather forms part of our culture — coloring our emotions day-to-day or dictating whether we can enjoy our activities and customs.

      Mama loves reading and relaxing during the rain during her days off. She hates it at times because she can't go shopping, worrying about what she will feed us (sorry mom, we are picky eaters... my sister is more picky),

    11. find ourselves impatiently awaiting their end, wishing for just one warm, sunny day

      That is the life of the others during Weathering With You, even with Handaka before that grand climax. "I want you more than any blue sky"

    12. climate change will also drive gradual shifts in weather that carry an underappreciated potential to deeply alter our daily experiences.

      Algaculture, fruits, moods, romance, traditions, cultures, stories, feelings, and a time to savor the rain.

    13. film demands that we reflect on a more universal relationship: the relationship we all share with the weather we experience daily.

      Yes true. Think of it spirtually. Talk to mama and papa what the train represents. Our relationship with it. Mama loves being indoors in the rain on her days off. I like walking in the breezy rain with an umbralla in the middle of the day. Though we can think it in a poltical way too with how we appraoch climate change.

    14. emotionally, to live in an age of climate change and shoulder some of the responsibility for altering our world.

      I see okay hmmm. Yeah that is one way of thinking it. Where we are the kids in the film. we are the kids just learning how to walk. Walking in this era of climate change you know. What would we do if we could change things? The over arching story in the end of the film is how will Hina and Hodaka stay together. Though between that its them bring sunshine and joy to the people. Controlling the weather to bring smiles. In a way you could see it as when we are able to control it and not destory it, we can finally e happy

    15. What about the more relatable everyday of climate change?

      Yes!!! That is what im looking for. Im not looking for post-apoplectic version of our future. Or some thing like Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.

      For Umbra instead of showing a gray reality like i how i used to picture it. I think i will go with the idea about it being a place about forgotten beliefs or ones that have been given up. It will be a reality about what life could be alongside the antagonist which would be like a ghost that everyone has that is just a dark grim reality of themselbes. Its not one thing, Its about conquiring your mind

    16. that demanded more introspective, compelling stories about future climate.

      I need to also read this article but i do feel her about the need for more interospetive stories and human stories that are compelling in teaching our future and the climate.

    17. far more nuanced contribution to the climate filmography

      What it does to the genre and climate change art. To me this adds on a different way in which we can show stories affected by climate change and touch people to do something and contribute in saving the earth.

    18. heroines avert disaster by restoring harmony between people and nature.

      As a story this i quite heart touching but it isn't really real. Or personal to most.

    19. Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind

      Remember what you talked about in class during FMA 152. We watched Nausicaa of the Valley of the wind. It provided a great perspective on climate change and the role of humans and nature. How we must learn to coexist so that there is balance and not one single power

    20. the climate community has largely overlooked a film offering one of the more original and thought-provoking explorations of the human experience in the climate change era.

      Provided one of the most original and thoughtful stories of the human experience in the climate change era

    1. “There’s too many people in Hollywood today who think that ifyou type ‘movie’ and press enter, you get a movie,” says Cristóbal Valenzuela, the co-founder and chief executiveof Runway, whose A.I.-video-generation engines are among the most widely used.

      Kinda funny but yeah there is this type of fear

    2. The first is generative A.I., which helps artists andstudios create things. Then there is “agentic” A.I., which helps them get things done.

      Two types or AI applications

    3. that it’sdifficult to predict how it will wind up proving most beneficial, and which aspects of the filmmaking process it willdisrupt first. “Everyone’s nervous,” says Susan Sprung, the Producers Guild’s chief executive, and yet no one’squite sure what to be nervous about

      Hysteria

    4. The difference here is that A.I. has the potential to disrupt many, many places in our pipeline,” says LoriMcCreary, the chief executive of Revelations Entertainment, a production company she owns with MorganFreeman, and a board member of the Producers Guild of America. “This one feels like it could be an entire industrydisrupter.”

      AI in the narrative as being a disrupter

    5. and, for me at least, the A.I.-drivenscenes passed the baseline test of any ambitious movie illusion: I didn’t notice it

      Didn't notice it being AI. Thus it follows what the copyright law thing. The human made product is recognizably human

    6. They got a chance to see it in real time.” And despite the technical ambition, “Here” onlycost about $50 million, less than a quarter of some Marvel movie budgets

      Well that's Disney being stupid with their budgeting if you are trying to compare money spending tactics

    7. just one factor in A.I.’s ascendancy. “It’s the quality, and it’s the speed,and it’s the cost,” Ulbrich said. No six-month production lag, no fortune spent.

      The benefit of Metaphysic's AI face replacment program

    8. major studios don’t spend that kind of money onmovies like “Here.” “There’s no capes or explosions or aliens or superheroes or creatures,” Ulbrich explained. “It’speople talking, it’s families, it’s their loves and their joys and their sorrows. It’s their life.”

      Fuck people man and studios. We need to support just movies in gerneal. Not just marvel and Dinsey films.

    9. “You couldn’t have made this movie three years ago,”

      I mean... yeah Zemeckis is right. Such a feat coudln't have been possible because there is no way in real lfie to reel back someones age to make them look younger. Tom Hanks was still apart of the film, they just modifyed him to look younger. But how was this copyrighted? Im still a little confused on the issue there

    10. Ulbrich recalled

      I don't like this from a moral stand point. Its just wrong. Taking jobs of people, creative jobs and placing them in the hands of machines. Taking away a fundamntal joy

    11. Suffice it to say that the face belonged to a majorstar with fantastic teeth. “Smile again,” Ulbrich said. I complied. “Those aren’t your teeth.” Indeed, the teethbelonged to Famous Actor. The synthesis was seamless and immediate, as if a digital mask had been pulled overmy face that matched my expressions, with almost no lag time

      This sounds terrifying and could also be used for things far worse then its orginal goal. Cause being able modify a persons face to a certain extenct that you question if it was the person who was in the photo or was it some machine.

    1. In theory, AI systems could someday allow users to exert so muchcontrol over how their expression is reflected in an output that the system’scontribution would become rote or mechanical

      AI systems could someday allow users to apply their full human expression. Becoming of human and not machine. The machine would just feed on what we want it, out thoughts to create something that is a refelction of our thoughts.

    2. legal precedent in theissue of appropriation art, a tradition in which one artist repurposes another’screation

      a court decision that is considered an authority for deciding subsequent cases involving identical or similar facts , or similar legal issues

    3. if the human-madeproduct remains recognizable, the “perceptible human expression” can still becopyrighted

      You can incorprate AI elements as long as the majority of it is human made. Like if it looks humanly made. The human expression can be copyrighted. So like look at the Brutalist. The actor spoke Hungarian, he said it with his voice and it was recorded. The only thing that was AI was the enhancement of the Hungarian accent. It is still human made techinally. The human made product is still recognizable, the seen human expression is there

    4. Works that incorporate AI-generated elements can be protected if there’s beenperceptible creative modification—if, say, an artist significantly rearranges elements ofan AI-artwork or pairs it with text written by a human

      This is one way AI generated elements can be incorporated and protected by copyright.

    5. that the book’s images hadbeen made using AI generator Midjourney

      Woah. Okay. This is the one of the first instances that Ai work was copyright. Though it only last for a bit

    6. using such technology to assist in “human” creativeexpression does not necessarily preclude a work’s eligibility for copyright protection

      Now we should consider where one crosses the line. How much human creative expression can be used and how much assistance can be used? What is the ratio of human touch and AI assistance? What's the mixing proportions

    7. “The issue is the degree of human control, rather than the predictability of theoutcome,” the office concluded.

      WOOOOOOO, yes. The issue is human control. Do humans control the output of AI? Well sorta, we do feed AI databasis of various images and labels. We make prompts and well that's really it. But once the machine starts running, it will choose sorta randomly and may do some hallucinations. Though for the most part. The generating of the image or whatever generative thing is not humanly controlled.

    8. “controlled the choice ofcolors, number of layers, depth of texture, placement of each addition to the overallcomposition — and used his own body movements to execute each of these choices.”

      Still human made. Take the splatter technique of Jackson Pollock. The artist couldn't decide the precise landing of where the paint was gonna land but he could choose the area, the colors, number of layers, depth of texture, and overall placement that would lead to the end product.

    9. “No matter howmany times a prompt is revised and resubmitted, thefinal output reflects the user’s acceptance of the AIsystem’s interpretation, rather than authorship of theexpression it contains,” the report states.

      Yeah no. This makes sense because the machine is a machine. Not human. Its like pressing a button and whatever comes out, the human just did one step and not the rest.

    1. cinema was about revelation — aesthetic, emotional and spiritual revelation. It was about characters — the complexity of people and their contradictory and sometimes paradoxical natures, the way they can hurt one another and love one another and suddenly come face to face with themselves.

      Exactly bro

    2. It was about confronting the unexpected on the screen and in the life it dramatized and interpreted, and enlarging the sense of what was possible in the art form.

      This is what Scorsese thinks cinema is. How he sees it and what it should be

    3. is that we now have two separate fields: There’s worldwide audiovisual entertainment, and there’s cinema.

      Yup, wow. I shoudl use thsi mroe bro

    4. perfect products manufactured for immediate consumption

      Ask a filmmaker i fucking hate this cause the market becomes so oversatured from this and it leave no room for real stories. Film is about diversity and there is for sure barely any diversity in modern theaters

    5. but on the big screen, where the filmmaker intended her or his picture to be seen.

      That in my opinion completes Cinema. Cinema must be enjoyed with strangers, sitting in a dark room, a big screen, munching on something, and laughing or crying or saying whatever

    6. Would I like the picture to play on more big screens for longer periods of time? Of course I would. But no matter whom you make your movie with, the fact is that the screens in most multiplexes are crowded with franchise pictures.

      :( I want to see La La Land again on screen or Weathering With You

    7. In many places around this country and around the world, franchise films are now your primary choice if you want to see something on the big screen.

      Which i fucking hate. Fuck you hollywood. I don't want to see anotehr Mission impossibe, Indiana jones, toy story, Marvel film, or other films. Can we please go back to orginality?

    8. What’s not there is revelation, mystery or genuine emotional danger. Nothing is at risk. The pictures are made to satisfy a specific set of demands, and they are designed as variations on a finite number of themes.

      Exactly EXACTLY BROOO. They are made to just sell and grow the franchise. Rather then giving us complix and vibrant chracters that we will remember.

    9. But I grew up when I did and I developed a sense of movies — of what they were and what they could be — that was as far from the Marvel universe as we on Earth are from Alpha Centauri.

      I still consider it a sorta diss. I personally find these recent marvel movies as rotten films, films that are made just to feed people. Nothing new or exciting. Just a pass time you know

    10. that they seem to me to be closer to theme parks than they are to movies as I’ve known and loved them throughout my life, and that in the end, I don’t think they’re cinema.

      They are just entertainment. Nothing that screams emotional and thoughtful. Sorta like fast food

    1. we embrace the unique characteristics of neural media through literacy and experimentation, with a critical sense and a clear understanding of what exactly we want to become.

      And we end it off with what we can do to shape our future with AI. In order for us to control our own interpallation and subjectiveity. Which means how we label ourselves and and how we influence.

    2. very early stages of neural media and that it will continue to evolve for a few decades before mutating into something new

      Well yeah. We are super new to AI, its just now becoming part of our daily lives. How do we will with it? How does it change our description about media and our relationship with it. Like what does this mean since AI is a neural media which basically means it is made from us. And then it takes whatever we feed it and puts it own tiwsts of things out. Its "hallucinatory" meaning that its sorta like a fake version of ourselves. Its werid and not quiete there yet it feels real. AI learns from us and we get infromation from it, we get labeled from it. It can be right but that depends on how we feed Ai

    3. AI learn from us and we are interpellated by them

      We are given idenities by AI even though they learn from us. Its a werid two wa echacnge due to how its being fed. Since its being trained on us and when its trained on us based on what we already know about AI. It will grow based on us but in a hallunarary way. Its not real or human like but its still there

    4. Generating neural activity in a machine model is always hallucination

      So can we trust it? I mean, this is the trait if this type of media or era of media that we are in no?

    5. literally the case with large language models and image generators trained on massive corpuses of text and imagery scraped from the web.

      This talks about AI generated stuff thhat comes from vraious things. Its trained to make whatever we have done.

    6. Memes, according to Dawkins, are units of cultural information that replicate and evolve in a manner similar to the natural selection of genes in biological evolution.

      "Memes jack, the DNA of the soul"

    7. To distribute content via email, message boards, blogs and social media users must act as nodes in the network,

      People do have their own wills. That is what styed but what information we get from the internet is via us. In which we are the nodes of the network
