i have been thinking about Mansa Musa recently. specifically, that he was effectively a muscle Flexing memetic god. his pilgrimage to mecca was a massive and extravagant display of wealth and power, but it was also a masterclass in information warfare. by distributing gold along the way and ensuring that stories of his riches and generosity spread far and wide, he crafted a legend that lasted for centuries. people all over the world knew of him, and his image appeared in european maps and manuscripts. effectively, he was the first global celebrity, and he used his fame and fortune to shape the narrative of his time in a way that was unrivaled until recently. i think we are about to enter a new era of "musas" - individuals or even ai constructs that can rise to global fame and influence overnight through the power of memetic technology. what do you think?
