Sony’s problem is memes, not security

I often think of memes as an astonishingly powerful, abstract force that flows through individuals on the internet and in real life with a shocking fluency. Within a surprisingly brief period, a 4chan meme can become a joke played on the world's stage. It reminds me of the wind, a force of innumerable particles smashing into each other in a massive wavelength, which eventually results in a brief gust that trails through a field of wheat. If watched closely, it turns and spins, wanders about, and moves in a generally unpredictable manner in a confined sense. Of course, we know there is a system that causes this abstract motion, pushing the wheat down into undulated patterns, known as particle theory. Strong, weak, electromagnetic and gravitational forces cause particles to exchange gluons, bosons, photos and mysterious gravitons by the gazillions, resulting in a light puff of invisibleness. Or a strong puff of destruction.
