So there doesn't appear to be a strict rule that the memes have to be about actual historical events. I'm hoping mythology can be acceptable.

I've thought, more than once, over this Epstein thing's revelation that stories about demigods that you need to be extremely careful with might be more culturally relevant than the dominant mythology of an individual savior type.

Like years of one type of story might equip kids better to deal with unsavory predators. Even vampires and werewolves seem like they would be more helpful.

Kind of an odd thought process, in the midst of coffee.

i think all religions carry some form of wisdom in them tbh. i think the problem lies with when you start acting like there is one true, valid, religion, and all others are a threat to yours.

I think there might be a lot of depth to your coffee thought ... it makes perfect sense to me
