Oddly enough, if you take the derivative of f, you get the constant function 0.
Many interpret this to mean that “all memes are derivative”, which is true, but not the cause.
The real cause is that the value of any given meme is equal to the value of any other given meme. Doesn’t matter which one you look at, they all fail to make you laugh.

91·10 days agoWho is harmed by this? No one living. Maybe you could argue Hitler has some right to not have his remains disturbed, but DNA testing isn’t very invasive and we do it at crime scenes without consent all the time, so it’s minor even if relevant.
What could we learn? Nothing of value. Even if there is some “psychopath gene” or “genocide gene” you’d need 100s of examples to show the effect and far easier to just pick such candidates from living, diagnosed people who can consent.
So then should we do it? Probs not. No real reason to, even though there’s little reason not to.
