THE DIGITAL PUTREFACTION: WHEN MEMES KILL HUMAN INTELLIGENCE

There was once art. The real kind. Today we have memes: the digital excrement of a lobotomized generation that exchanges culture for an idiotic three-second laugh.

Let's observe the downward spiral: from shitposts to moronic images sliding across our screens, a universe of pixelated mediocrity where the only art is the total absence of art. Frogs with cigarettes, dogs with anthropomorphic expressions, jokes repeated ad infinitum: these are not communication, they are the symptom of a global anthropological decline.

Shitposts represent the apotheosis of this decay. No longer intelligent satire, but a jumble of meaningless references, mechanically repeated like mantras of an ignorance religion. Every social platform is a slaughterhouse of intelligence: TikTok, Instagram, Twitter transform human complexity into a sequence of interchangeable idiocy.

The algorithm knows no depth. For it, a philosophical reflection is worth as much as a dancing dog. The average human no longer seeks understanding, only the dopamine discharge of likes, sharing, and idiotic comments.

Statistics in hand - and these are not idle chatter, but data - the digital native generation consumes content with an attention span shorter than a goldfish. Seven seconds. Seven damn seconds to elaborate a concept, to understand it, to metabolize it.

Memes are the litmus test of a civilization voluntarily renouncing thought. They are not democratization of information, but its definitive massacre. Everywhere in the world - from San Francisco to Beijing, from London to Buenos Aires - the spectacle is the same: human beings reduced to machines for sharing stupidities.

Technology, born to bring minds closer, has ended up driving them apart. Every cultural difference, every intellectual nuance is flattened into an indistinct slime of digital ignorance. The shitpost is the new universal language, the lingua franca of a humanity that has lost the ability to think.

The apocalypse is not a future event. It's already here. And it looks like a meme.
