(1) i've been writing these essays and publishing them as screenshots (2) people keep asking "what's the source?" and I keep saying, there's no source, this IS the essay!! (3) i decided to try writing this as a way to reflect on how memes are like mini essays that have no source but no one asks

like, if essays started spreading that had no attribution, and no one knew where they came from, that sounds extremely dangerous when you think about it...but we already have this situation (like trying to raise people's awareness of the value of something like memetic tracing)
