Sometimes memes get a bad wrap. The academics out there might see them as a lowly form of entertainment, at worst a dangerous method of spreading misinformation and stripping complicated issues of their nuance.
But memes are only as clever as the people who make them.
So for all the philosophers and scholars out there, I offer these 14 memes for the cultured soul.
1. Philosophy, am I right?
I’m just happy this picture of Daniel Radcliff exists.

Poor blue green algae. What are we doing focusing all our energies on planting trees? Where’s Blue Green Algae Day?
Not gonna lie, I didn’t understand all of these memes, but I assume those who are smarter than me will.
Not all of us can study Philosophy. At least some of us have to study the important things, like Theater Arts.
Which meme tickled your academic mind? Or if you’re like me, which one totally went over your head? Tell us in the comments!
