And every television show is like a morality play, right?

Every television show basically tells a moral story of basically people behaving badly and then learning the error of their ways.

And then famously you have like the happy ending, right?

Where everybody kisses and hugs.

And remember, Seinfeld was like a huge variation of that because remember the motto of Seinfeld, Larry David's motto for Seinfeld was no learning, no hugging.

And it's what made Seinfeld so unique because every other television show up until Seinfeld always ended with everybody learning and hugging, right?

You learn the moral lesson and then you sort of reconcile with the people close to you.

And so every real life experience would get wedged into the format of a television show and would be turned into like this, basically this morality play.

Okay, so the internet version, I believe, the internet version of if it's on television, it's a television show.

The internet version is if it's on the internet, it's a viral social media meme.

If it's on the internet, it doesn't matter what it is.

By the way, if an alien invasion happens later this afternoon, it will be turned into a social media meme.

And it will go viral.

And that's what will happen.

And it will be turned into a viral meme and it will spread virally across the thing.

And then human beings, what they are, that will turn into a moral panic.

That'll turn into full-fledged outrage and how dare you and people will line up on each side and sort of tribes will form and then people will go to war with each other on social media and you'll have all these basically back and forth, both all the humor and all the rage of kind of how meme culture works.

And so everything on the internet, basically, whatever happens in the real world becomes like a social media, basically social media viral moment, meme complex, and then basically moral panic and search for scapegoats, right?

Like a moral emergency.

And that happens to every single new event that happens.
