Milhouse[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. 24.174.111.197 (talk) 17:05, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Adding another example[edit]
Is the concept of "chain letter" a metameme? The concept leapt the bounds from paper to internet, the memes IN the chain letters mostly did not. (Most internet chains were not/ are not direct transmissions from paper to electronica bits) I will await further discussion.Mydogtrouble (talk) 16:09, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
Is the idea of a Metameme a Metametameme?[edit]
