This is gonna sound stupid, but anyways here goes. I have a lot of dreams and one is to teach the history and psychology of memes at a university level.
Memes can be used as a form of propaganda and can easily fit into a psychology or sociology department.
My thought is if I can ever get a dean to approve this, to start the class off easy like it's a joke but eventually get really deep into the issues at each given time period and how the memes correspond.
Seems like it would be really fun to teach and a lot of laughter from the students, but also digging deep into their underlying psychological implications.
Thoughts?

You're right, that did sound stupid.

Maybe to a pleb like yourself but there will be a Memeology major in 10 years, mark my words. You're just a consumer not a deep thinker

no one would finance such class, and even if they did, at most it would be part of a lecture (a 5-minute example) as part of a psychology course or the human sciences in general
you'd first have to get a PhD in Psychology / relevant field though, so you can teach
if you aren't trolling, i'd recommend creating and offering an online course
when the numbers and interest pile up, you can use that to show a university that there's interest in your subject and they can invite to give you guest-lectures
then someone might offer you a position somewhere but chances are slim of this ever happening, even more so in a decent university
you won't be getting serious students either way, but at least they'll like you

All I can think of is a Spongebob quote.
>I meme
>We meme
>He/she/it memes
>Memebrosis
>Meme science
>Memology, the study of memes
>It's first grade, Spongebob
You're dumb.
You should feel dumb.
That is dumb.
This thread is dumb.
You're dumb, again.
The education system does not need you. Do not bother teaching anything at all.

>Can only think of SpongeBob memes
>Calls someone else dumb
Haha bro you're a NEET too, aren't you?
>The education does not need you
But they need queer pansexual demigod study courses though, right?

i'm not him, but pansexual demigod study courses serve a purpose
oy vey, white men must be emasculated and replaced by the darker races
Semiotics, psychology, marketing, and memetics. Study these, get a doctorate, a professorship, and then tenure. Then, and only then, will you be able to have your class on memes.

>But they're already doing something awful!
>I want to do something awful too!
And it should be a warning sign that your idea is on part of that with a character that was made to excel at being an idiot, so the 5-year-olds watching Spongebob know he's supposed to be dumb.

>10+ years of your life devoted to academia just s you can teach a course which only junkies and good-for-nothing slackers attend so they don't drop out
memetics is a thankless field
