The concept of memes is itself a meme
Ironically a meme isn’t even a meme in its original sense anymore. Richard Dawkins coined the term in The Selfish Gene in the 70s to mean something like a social gene that gets passed along (he was trying to understand why some behaviors, from an evolutionary perspective, seemed to make no sense but, somehow or other, were found to be very common in human societies)
He defined memes as any kind of non-genetic information that is shared and spread by humans. So even what people will define memes as now are still memes in the sense Dawkins defined it as. Just about the only thing we do that isn’t a meme, is having children.
Hmmm, is the argument that any and all conceptual ideas are memes?
So long as they spread and mutate, which I think the idea of memes has.
You’re a meme
It’s like saying word is a word.
