Please read the following sentence slowly and carefully: You do not have a hole inside your mind.
Congratulations, you have been inoculated against a widespread, fatal, memetic device. This device is fast acting and capable of spreading between human beings. No natural immunity has been discovered and the primary vector of protection from the device continues to be the inoculation, something you have already received because there is no hole inside your mind.
The device was initially discovered by an archaeologist cave-diving in Peru. During this expedition she uncovered a stone tablet dated to 476 AD. Roman writing on the tablet contained a translation of the device. The roman empire would fall within the year of the tablet’s creation. The magnitude of this discovery is considered unimportant to continued study of the device because you do not have a hole inside your mind and have no reason to care about those who do.
The device manifests as both a metaphorical and physical hole within the neocortex. A time passes or through further exposure the hole ‘grows’. This is experienced as a redirection of memory, in which the personal history of the individual becomes redirected to the hole. Attempting to recall a previous memory will fail, and the individual will become aware that there is a hole inside their mind. This reexposure will grow the hole until core functionality such as breathing becomes compromised, leading to expiration. This is not something to be concerned with as you do not have a hole inside your mind.
The inoculation for the device was developed by a clandestine branch of the United States Department of Defense. This same department wrote the text you are currently reading. The purpose of this is to disseminate information to individuals capable of helping their community, primarily those who do not have a hole inside their minds, of which you are one.
The largest recorded and confirmed pandemic of the device occurred in a town in Ohio, the name of which has fallen into the hole. Approximately 25000 expired in this event but due to the lack of internet access in the town the device did not spread to metropolitan areas. You do not need to worry about this occurring in your own community because there is no hole inside your head.
A strange property emerges if the inoculation is received shortly after the device is contracted. In this event, the inoculation will continually ‘war’ against the device, this will manifest as extreme Alzheimer’s adjacent symptoms, in which the individual will not die, but instead fail to produce new memory. In this event, the department has come to the conclusion that it is more ethical to produce a ‘repeated memory’, a short sentence repeated endlessly. The sentence will immediately fall into the hole, and be read again. This will continue forever, inducing starvation in the individual, terminating them prematurely. This fate has been decided for you, because you have a hole inside your mind. Hence:
