[edit] ""Milhouse

Is not a meme" is a meme". At what level of abstraction does this become a metameme, if at all? Tar7arus (talk) 16:48, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

You raise such a complex question. Milhouse is not a meme. "Milhouse is not a meme" is a meme. I believe by definition that this first tier of memetic analysis we have reached a metameme. In the same way the discussion of "our memes" on eBuams World is a metameme. But consider this- is not a metameme, when used regularly, a meme in and of itself? If we discuss this regularly at eBaums, does this become a metameme as well? In fact, cannot all metamemes degrade into a meme? Kakama (talk) 00:43, 20 March 2008 (UTC)


This is by far the greatest Wikipedia article that I have encountered all week.
