## What Jamie wrote

Article talking about engaging with people that agree with the QAnon conspiracy theory.

> Beliefs in QAnon and the deep state are unified by one basic factor: their reliance on deep memetic frames. As Ryan Milner and I have explained, these are sense-making orientations to the world. Everyone, regardless of their politics, has a set of deep memetic frames. We feel these frames in our bones. They shape what we know, what we see, and what we’re willing to accept as evidence.

As I read this I’m left feeling like you are talking to someone that has been programmed by a cult, and you have to careful deprogram that and be sure to not reinforce the cult programming that has been adopted already.
