In this course
Marion Wheeler is a protagonist in QNTM's SCP Foundation fiction who serves as a case study in how information can be weaponized against human cognition—she's an ordinary subject trapped in isolation with knowledge that may be corrupting her mind itself. The readings use her character to explore the concept of "antimemes" (ideas that actively resist being remembered or communicated) and how institutional actors like the Foundation must contain not just physical threats but epistemic hazards. Through Wheeler's predicament, the course engages with questions about whether certain truths can be too dangerous to know, linking cybernetic control systems to the problem of memetic contagion in networked societies.
