The Daily Memes on Clubhouse

Description

As we note @ thedailymemes.com/the-eternal-memes, we all need to feel connected to something larger than ourselves. Many of us turn to “the news“ to quench that thirst even though we realize it leaves us dry, failing to tell us anything truly new or directly relevant to our lives. In the 1950s, long before Bill Gates began micro-chipping our brains through vaccines (joke!), researchers Elihu Katz and his partner Karl Lazarsfeld showed how commercials could slip memes (subconscious notions) into our minds, influencing our feelings much as genes help govern our bodies. K and L became academic superstars for inventing the secret sauce that Mad Men subsequently used to cash in on Madison Ave. Lesser known today, however, is their observation that the daily news frame leaves people feeling more—not less—lonely and alienated. Thedailymemes.com is our attempt to make news more social by showing why and how it should matter to or--at least amuse—you.
