Meme-ontology: The Study of Meme-ness
A branch of philosophy that explores the fundamental nature of memes, their existence, and their impact on reality.
Meme-ontology Principle 1: "Memes are a-tenacious"
A meme, by definition, is a self-replicating unit of cultural transmission. It is a concept that spreads, adapts, and evolves, often in ways both wondrous and bewildering.
- Example: The 'Doge' meme, a picture of a Shiba Inu with a caption that is simultaneously a joke and a philosophical treatise.
- Example: The 'Arthur's Fist Pumping' meme, a GIF of a character from a children's show making an... interesting decision.
