I've been explaining to friends/family (in-person) about static memes as malware.
Following are some thoughts about it. These are all things I've explained in person but haven't written down yet.
- How to get rid of malware?
- Quarantining software (anti-virus software)
- How does it work?
- Quarantine software does the following: (disclaimer: I have only layperson knowledge about computer virus/anti-virus software)
- identifies possible malware
- quarantines it
- lets you review it
- lets you decide what to do with it
- like you could unquarantine it
- or you could delete it
- or you could leave it there until you decide what to do
- while doing more discovery about the issue for the purpose of deciding whether or not you want to keep it (or parts of it).
- But even if you couldn't delete a malware, you could change your situation such that you never run that malware again.
- Malware is the tribalist mindset
- Quarantining software is the scientific/rational mindset
- Re the Socrates quote "The unexamined life is not worth living.":
- The unexamined life is the tribalist mindset/life. Examining it is the work of the quarantining software.

- your malware can quarantine your quarantine software.
