Macromemetic Index
Contact memes are evident here as well, i.e., if somebody virtue signals the right buzzwords, they are seen as credible. The abdication of authority, knowledge, whatever to dumb and unqualified virtual big others is also deeply macromemetic since it's probably an example of memetic nexus. Subscribers to a memetic nexus know that others in their shared cohort are also subscribed, and so any use of memes coming from this source, no matter how ridiculous, will be accepted by everybody else.
