Meme seems to mean a gleam of collective understanding.
Notion moves an emotion through promotion into commotion. Concept goes from
adept to accept to high-step. But the spread of meme seems to be a selective history
of collective misunderstanding. When Dawkins dreamed meme up he did not
anticipate its replication implications. Fortunately, enough people grasp the ‘train’
meme for us to catch it this morning. Here we window-sit, checking contentless
information on glass tablets. To share block letter slogans is to meme. GOD IS
GOD is popular and the Eliot parody FEBRUARY IS THE SHORTEST MONTH, but memes
need themes.
