The Idea Virus

The Idea Virus is a concept where ideas spread and evolve much like biological viruses. It suggests that ideas—such as beliefs, trends, or innovations—can be transmitted from person to person through social interactions, media, or communication. Once an idea virally spreads, it can influence behavior, shape culture, or alter perceptions rapidly and widely. Like a virus, it depends on effective transmission and can evolve as it spreads, often becoming more powerful or widespread. This concept highlights the contagious nature of ideas and how they can have significant impacts on society much like a biological disease.
