Modern mythology = memes and nobody wants to admit it
We replaced Hercules with Gigachad. Persephone's seasons with "nothing ever happens." The common folk with Wojacks.
Same function though - shared cultural docs that frame reality, warn us, inspire us.
The medium changed but humans still need myths to make sense of chaos. We just speedrun them now at internet scale.
Maybe that's why crypto memes hit different. They're not just jokes - they're the new folklore for a digital native generation navigating financial chaos in real time.
