I don't get it, anyone carte to explain? I see it's some kind of protein but I have no idea what it's supposed to do

Its a stupid, stupid meme made when I was tired. I took the image from here https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/life-rsquo-s-first-molecule-was-protein-not-rna-new-model-suggests/. The article says proteins were the first molecules on earth. So the protein is saying hmm I should clump together eventually forming RNA to eventually becoming DNA so one day I can be in cubicle doing Pivot Tables all day but in meme form. I made this when wondering WHY DID SINGLE CELL ORGANISMS ETC EVOLVE…THE WONDERS OF EVOLUTION…ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS LEARNING AGRICULTURE, MARKETS, FIEFDOMS, KINGDOMS, EMPIRES, INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION…INFORMATION AGE…all this so we are required to sit in a box all day looking at a screen to be able to afford to live…so I blame it on the first protein molecules. Based on the proteins misfolded comments I picked the wrong image lol.

I think it's Prion. But honestly I don't get the meme neither.
