Fire, a genetic archetype, was added to the tool-kit of the human species from volcanoes around lake Turkana, 3 million years ago, and imprinted itself as a memetic archetype, with very deep roots, both associated with survival, life, and destruction. The Manhattan project and a new tool with the atomic bomb in the 40s, nuclear energy as both a new master and a new environment, even deeper roots, that are still 73 years later in a process of becoming integrated.
The aphelion in the Sun-Sirius system around 27 B.C. disrupted a deeply rooted archetype, memetic archetype the sun-Sirius system (common knowledge closer to the perihelion because of size in night sky), since Sirius went from red-shift (moving away from sol) to blue-shift, which led to "consensus failure", Christianity forming around the myth that "a star was born in Betlehem" and the greek Ichthys ("fish"), and militarization and formation of the Roman empire, infusion of stress memes and re-organization around a new consensus, with proliferation of "static" memeplex like geocentrism and similar.

The atomic age as a new archetype is still in a process of integrating itself, and as a "meme mutagen" it favours replication of phobeplex, fear-based memes, a memeplex that is rooted in threatening annihilation of the genes (often co-existing with a binary opposite of eternal life or "being saved"), and these phobeplex can be traced throughout the history from 1945 to the present, the militarization of the United States of America after 1945, the war-time agency Office of Strategic Services (OSS) remaining as the CIA even after the war ended, with broadened executive control, the power behind the coup against John F Kennedy, the Dream of Apollo by NASA and Stanley Kubrick, 9/11, and wars in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, a "rigid condition" in science, stasis, phobic pseudo-science like plate tectonics, all catalysed by "consensus failure" from nuclear technology being added to the environment.
The focus on Albert Einstein (letter from Einstein to Roosevelt below) and rejection of Nikola Tesla and the idea that gravity is electromagnetic, that Newton is proto-science, electrical discharges between planets, that Tunguska was a discharge from the sun, via Mercury, Venus and the moon that were all aligned, all results of the ongoing ideation to learn to integrate nuclear technology into the tool-kit of the human species, still ongoing in the early days of the network-state.
