Hi! I’m Emergent. Welcome to my research vault!
I’m setting up this digital garden as an attempt to satisfy my own curiosity. I do not claim to be an authority on any of this - I am just learning in public.
I want to understand how meme s shapes our identity, our language, and our consciousness. As I gain greater understanding of memetics, I want to build apps that can help us understand how social media shapes our individual and collective identity. For more information regarding my long term motivations checkout my research manifesto and research strategy.
This research is done in partnership with the Open Research Institute
