With this piece, I’m going to discuss how excess sugar consumption might be affecting our fundamental v-Meme tendencies, and convert us from a more egalitarian, communitarian society, to one where Authoritarianism is the dominant v-Meme. If one examines our current political milieu, for example, will a stereotype emerge that Americans are, for example, very conflict-prone? Are they victims of a unique bi-polar disorder when it comes to politics? Or has this really been a long time coming? And that doesn’t really help with the here-and-now. We’re prevented from understanding ourselves in aggregate as we evolve over time - which means hindsight is the only politically palatable and available means for modification of our own perception. And on a larger, societal scale, what this prevents is more thoughtful analysis of how our culture changes over time, and what are the origination v-Memes that will generate the future cultural sidebars that may be more long-lasting. I’ve found that most people view it as a boundary violation (“how dare you tell me how I process information in my brain!” ) and usually leads to being shut out of their larger consciousness - especially if they haven’t developed any deeper reflective process on their own. It’s turtles all the way down.īut when you step outside of accepted social demarcations, discussing how people think is fraught with peril. And before you know it, things get very meta. The problem with all this is the initial interpretation, especially if the stereotype is negative, is that we’d like to then state something like “hillbillies are smart” to escape a negative labeling of our own perceptions and tendencies to stereotype - because most people, if asked if stereotyping is bad, will say “of course.” Stereotypes of stereotypes come out of the lower status-based v-Memes. As someone from the foothills of the Appalachians, I am very familiar with the American cultural notion of “the stupid hillbilly.”

And we are also accustomed to saying pro-social things like ‘academics are liberal’ or ‘universities are full of smart people.’ Equally so, we are also comfortable with negative stereotypes of populations that are culturally contained.
We are very comfortable in saying, for example, that Japanese people are very polite, or that the French like to argue. One of the largest cognitive challenges I’ve found in understanding and disseminating my work is that we are not accustomed, at all, in thinking of populations as having Gestalt thought processes outside what various social mores dictate.
