From 4Chan to meme magic to embedding ideology in logos, tune in and decide for yourself if Ryder Ripps is simply a troll or exposing the truth of sneak racism in digital art.
KEY POINTS:
- Who is Ryder Ripps?
- “Sneak racism” in today’s modern logos

- Why appropriation is the most powerful tool in history
- Is education or destruction the answer?
- What is 4Chan and meme magic?
- Do NFTs have real longevity?
QUOTABLES:
“I think if you keep that child-like sensibility of creativity, then you are pursuing life to its fullest. Because life isn't meant to be like, ‘Oh, I'm 18 now. I'm going to live the same day over and over again for the next 60 years.’”
“History repeats, but it doesn't repeat exactly the same way. They do it in a different way. And the way that things are happening now is sneak racism.”
“I think education has the ability to prevent atrocity and has the ability to fix things before it comes out of hand. So I believe that the Bored Ape Club is a situation that could easily go out of hand. So if I'm able to expose it, and if that means proliferating it more but exposing the truth, that's something that's a balance that I've weighed.”
