Recursively Reinforced Racism

Often referred to as 'Triple R', this is a feedback loop where people — intentionally or not — repeat and strengthen racist or stereotypical behavior and beliefs. Think of it like racism on autopilot: it keeps recycling through media, culture, schools, and families, getting stronger each time it's unchecked.
It shows up a lot in younger generations (thanks, internet), but older folks aren’t off the hook — especially those who grew up recursively reinforced racism or contributed to it. Either way, it’s a negative loop that feeds itself like a bad algorithm trained on garbage data
Being Black in an all-white high school, I dealt with my fair share of racism. Looking back, I realize a lot of those kids were surrounded by recursively reinforced racism — mostly passed down from their parents.

RECURSIVE COMPRESSION THEORY

A theory that says reality from matter to minds to memes evolves through repeated cycles of compression. Each layer condenses the previous one, creating shortcuts, symbols, and versions of versions. Consciousness shows up when something can compress itself while modeling the world.
“TikTok shows the recursive compression theory in action: a 10-minute idea crushed into 20 seconds that spawns another remix that spawns another trend.”
