It’s too bad you can’t read through memes because
there seemed to be a sudden explosion in James Baldwin memes the past couple
years. I really love the notion of people absorbing some James Baldwin
philosophy, but I don’t know, memes feel hollow in the long run. Being meme
woke is not much better than being red-pilled, which is not much better than
being a grandma who believes Nigerian prince emails. Maybe I should just recreate
Going to Meet the Man in full through memes, which I post on a dedicated
twitter account. That’d be wonderful – spend hours upon hours upon hours to
create an elaborate workaround to just reading a book for an audience that
likely won’t ever pay attention to it. The internet really is a Rube Goldberg
machine for intelligence.
