15/15 Do you have another way to think about evolution of memes and art movements? A different idea about what's next? I pick stocks for a living, but art and history bring me perspective. Let's discuss.

1/15 On evolution of meme structures. The Boomer/Gen X/Millennial’s need for structure and logic turned E=mc^2 into a meme. Now Gen Alpha’s "6-7" embraces lack of punchline for its safety. Let’s break down this transition, find parallels in art history, and ponder what’s next?  My first attempt a this. 🧵

14/15 Prediction 3: A generative moment just for you. A meme that uses AI to change based on who is looking at it. Not a shared moment, but Subjective Abstract Expressionism. Perhaps how Jackson Pollock intended his art to be. Just you and the algorithm making a meme that makes sense only to you.

Little experiment: Since President Reagan is no longer with us, I was curious and asked ChatGPT what he might say about the current situation. The results are quite interesting. AI-generated photo by Grok.

AI generated "Reaganesque" speech (ChatGPT):

"My fellow Americans,

I speak to you today not as a Republican, not as a Democrat, but as an American who believes in freedom, in democracy, and in the sacred duty we have to stand against tyranny wherever it may rise.

For decades, the United States has been a shining city on a hill—a beacon of hope for those oppressed, a defender of liberty, and a friend to those who fight for their own freedom. That is who we are. That is who we have always been. And that is who we must remain.

Today, we see a tyrant in Moscow—Vladimir Putin, a man who mourns the fall of the Soviet Union, not because he seeks peace, but because he longs for empire. A man who crushes dissent, silences opponents, and wages war against a free and sovereign Ukraine.

And yet, we hear voices here at home—some even within our own party—who would rather appease this dictator than oppose him. Who would rather shake his hand than stand firm against his aggression. Who mock and belittle a man like President Zelensky, not because he has failed, but because he has dared to succeed. Because he has dared to resist. Because he has dared to stand on his feet and say, not today, not ever!

Let me be clear: America does not cower before tyrants. America does not abandon its allies. America does not betray those who fight for the very ideals upon which this nation was founded.

Some would have us turn inward, retreat from the world stage, and cozy up to those who despise our way of life. But we have seen this story before, and we know how it ends. Weakness invites aggression. Silence encourages oppression. And appeasement? Appeasement is but a prelude to disaster.

So I ask you, my fellow Americans: Shall we stand with the man who jails his critics, poisons his opponents, and invades his neighbors? Or shall we stand with the man who fights—not for conquest, but for the right of his people to live in peace and liberty?

If America is to remain the last, best hope of Earth, we must choose wisely. Because the free world still looks to us, as it always has. And I say, as I have always said: Mr. Putin, we will not yield. And Mr. Zelensky, we stand with you.

God bless you, and God bless the United States of America"

@Tesla Only displaying ETA in local time makes planning difficult in 14 states that have counties in different time zones. For people not from these states who don’t know where the boundaries are, can you display ETA in both local and destination time zones?
