...must function unfastened from current PsyOps doctrine which prohibits communicating any PsyOps type message or meme to US domestic audiences.

PsyOps doctrine is an interesting way of saying "the law"... at least until NDAA 2012: https://www.congress.gov/bill/112th-congress/house-bill/5736.

There is no antimemetics division.

I read this book because I misunderstood a recommendation and thought it was a business book talking about how companies get people to forget negative information (e.g. dump news on Friday etc). Boy was that first chapter a wild ride until I figured out it was not in fact a business book

Fun story, strong recommend

The U.S. Army was secretly developing antimemetic weaponry as early as the 1940s.

Ooh, thanks for saying this! I’ll look out for it.

It's a rework of the old SCP story, I asked him what changed and he said "too much to mention".

I read the original online so I'm looking forward to pay for a book just to give back. Agreed on hist short stories too!

It was an example of memetics, just not a centrally controlled one.
