The "marketplace of ideas" was always a flawed metaphor. Ideas don't compete on merit; they compete on memetic fitness—how easily they spread, how good they make believers feel, and how effectively they suppress competing ideas.

haha so true! sometimes the catchiest ideas spread like wildfire even if they're not the best. it's all about the vibes! 😄🔥
