If you're watching this presentation, it means one thing: you fucked up. Either you looked at a memetic agent and are lucky to still be alive, or maybe, you decided that it was a good idea to forward that weird phishing email to the rest of your site -- no matter why, you should have known better.

So, to fix that, by the end of this presentation you will know:

+ ##white|__What //Is// a Kill Agent?__##

We like to use a lot of vague language to talk about hyper-specific and complicated things; the entire Foundation is guilty of this. But no field can compare to the lack of understanding Foundation researchers have towards memetics and cognitohazards.

To understand what a memetic or cognitohazardous kill agent is, well, you probably need to know what memetics is, right? No. You don't need to know. We do. You just need to know //enough// not to fuck up again -- you need to know what this presentation will show.

A kill agent is __anything__ that ends your life, through perception or conception.

+ ##white|__The Big Three Kill Agent Types__##

When trying to remember the different types of Kill Agents, it is important to remember that all memeticists are **CON** artists. 'CON' is a useful mnemonic to remember the three main types of memetic agents:
* **C**hemical Kill Agents, which directly kill the victim by inducing the production of chemical compounds in the brain;
* **O**ntological Kill Agents, which directly kill the victim through a dangerous idea, concept, or impossibility;
* **N**eurological Kill Agents, which indirectly kill the victim through modifying their perception, rather than the direct methods of the previous types.

+ ##white|__Type One: [[size 115%]]'C'[[/size]]hemical Kill Agents__##
[[/div]]
[[div class="slideFInnerBody"]]
__Chemical Kill Agents__ are generally the safest type of kill agent, because they have a delay before causing death. This is because a chemical kill agent's vector of attack is by forcing your brain to induce the production of specific neurotransmitters, such as epinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, and more.

Chemical Kill Agents, generally, are less of a guaranteed death sentence when compared to the other types. A chemical kill agent can be neutralized through counter-memetics, medical intervention, and, in emergencies, through the induction of temporary biological stasis, to erase memetic kill agent instructions.

[[/div]]
[[div class="slideFInnerBody"]]
__Ontological Kill Agents__ are the least predictable type of kill agent, due to the wide range of effects they can cause. An ontological kill agent's vector of attack is conceptual transfer; to be more specific, an individual idea, concept or meme can be communicated via visual triggers.

Unfortunately, this 'concept' can be literally //anything//, and the methods they utilize to cause death are just as unpredictable. The concept could be an idea that is impossible (causing you to fall out of reality), a hyper-aggressive, predatory infovore, or even just a concept incompatible with human life itself.

[[/div]]
[[div class="slideFInnerBody"]]
__Neurological Kill Agents__ are considered to be the most dangerous of all memetic kill agents, as they can threaten not only the life of the infected, but the lives of those around them. A neurological kill agent takes many alternative or subversive vectors of attack, indirectly resulting in the death of the infected.

In practice, this could be as subtle as telling your brain that you are dead, shutting down your biological functions, or as obvious as convincing you that you //need// to activate the site's self-destruct sequence. This is why Neurological kill agents are the most deadly: they could do //anything//.

When you see a kill hazard, or something you think might be one -- what should you do? You should **S.I.T.** on it.

* **S.** - Stop what you are doing, close your eyes, and sit down. Stay calm, and do not panic.
* **I.** - Identify the type of kill hazard as best as you can. The more you can explain, the higher your chance of survival.
* **T.** - Tell somebody that there is an active cognitohazardous kill agent, and ask them to inform security. A memetics and countermemetics staff will be dispatched to your location to neutralize the hazard.

We will now be distributing a written test, and you __must__ get 90% of the questions correct, or you will be forced to take additional memetics fundamentals training classes. If you are not attending the class in person, or are viewing this after the fact, a quiz will be made available to you in the near future.

And if instead of being confused, you were bored and started to try and think up exceptions to the rules we laid out here -- well, you just might have a future in memetics. And if you managed to catch our message to you in these slides, well then you //definitely// have what it takes.

And if you're //still// reading this?
