The Ben Carson Wikipedia meme stems from the public fascination with the contrast between Carson’s career as a world-renowned pediatric neurosurgeon and his soft-spoken, sometimes eccentric political persona. Frequently appearing as a screenshot of his Wikipedia infobox, the meme is often edited to include absurd accomplishments or references to his unconventional theories, such as his 1998 claim that the Great Pyramids were used for grain storage. It rose to prominence during the 2016 GOP primary, becoming a staple for internet users who wanted to poke fun at his calm demeanor or his unexpected transitions between high-stakes medicine and high-level politics.
