AI and the Meme Economy
Influencing the TikTok algorithm was just the warmup.
AI is going to accelerate the meme economy. By a lot.
Everyone knows that the world runs on memes, which is why we're all so performative on X, TikTok, Instagram, etc. Even in traditional media, everyone performs when the camera is rolling.
Every person at yesterday's White House press conference (on both sides - US and Ukraine) had likely planned out their exact individual performances in advance. It being the most viral clip on the internet is not an accident. No one knew exactly how it would play out but they certainly all wanted it to go viral.
AI feeds on context, and we're increasingly willing to give it all the context it needs. And so the cameras are going to be rolling much more often. And the mics recording. It's not a coincidence that more and more of us are recording our Zoom meetings. And some, our IRL meetings as well.
As AI enhances every aspect of our lives, we'll all work harder to influence the AI's context window, especially as content in all settings becomes a commodity. The more unique our performance, the more likely we'll be able to get the AI to meet our objectives.
SEO, influencing the TikTok algorithm, etc — this was all just the warmup act.
Not for Everyone. But maybe for you and your patrons?
Dear Michael,
I hope this finds you in a rare pocket of stillness.
We hold deep respect for what you've built here—and for how.
We’ve just opened the door to something we’ve been quietly handcrafting for years.
Not for mass markets. Not for scale. But for memory and reflection.
Not designed to perform. Designed to endure.
It’s called The Silent Treasury.
A sanctuary where truth, judgment, and consciousness are kept like firewood—dry, sacred, and meant for long winters.
Where trust, vision, patience, and stewardship are treated as capital—more rare, perhaps, than liquidity itself.
The two inaugural pieces speak to a quiet truth we've long engaged with:
1. Why we quietly crave for signal from rare, niche sanctuaries—especially when judgment must be clear.
2. Why many modern investment ecosystems (PE, VC, Hedge, ALT, SPAC, rollups) fracture before they root.
These are not short, nor designed for virality.
They are multi-sensory, slow experiences—built to last.
If this speaks to something you've always felt but rarely seen expressed,
perhaps these works belong in your world.

Warmly,
The Silent Treasury
Sanctuary for strategy, judgment, and elevated consciousness.
