Someone recently pointed out something brutal: we've traded intellectuals for memes. No deep thinkers anymore—just viral images and recycled jokes.

Honestly? Look around crypto Twitter. Every market move gets instant meme treatment. Bulls run, bears wake up, and within minutes there's a new template flooding your feed. We dissect complex protocols through joke formats now.

Not saying it's all bad. Memes spread ideas fast, build communities, even move markets (looking at you, meme coins). But when was the last time you saw a genuinely original thought go viral versus another Pepe variation?

Maybe this is just how culture evolves in hyperspeed environments. Or maybe we've genuinely swapped substance for shareability. Worth thinking about—between scrolling memes, of course.
