If you’re not memeing, you’re being modeled.

DARPA built a program called TIDES to scan the internet, translate every language, extract meaning, and summarize it for intelligence agencies.

The goal? Strip your words of nuance and make you readable, predictable, prosecutable.

Memes break that system.

They can’t translate. They’re layered, ironic, slippery, and deeply cultural. They confuse the machine. They jam the signal.

They turn serious ideas into punchlines the state can’t parse.

TIDES needs clarity.

Memes deny it.

If language is now a battlefield, humor is armor.
