I like this idea, but I would lean towards quotes from the sequences (or occasionally HP:MOR) rather than the ones that you find in the quotes thread, often are imprecise to the extent that I would lose the emotional utility (I think this is the reaction that you’re referring to when you say ‘memetic immune response’.)
That’s part of what I mean by memetic immune response, yeah.
I was thinking of quotes from the quote threads, but not of using all of them—only ones over a certain karma score, and even then they’d need to be vetted to make sure that they’re generally useful and don’t depend on some specific context.
If someone or some group wanted to generate a bunch of quotes from the sequences, that’d work too, but I’m not personally interested enough in that aspect of the idea to put that much effort into it.
