    Dear Diana,

    Very interesting questions! :-)

    I don't know much about postmodernism, but my impression --
    please correct me if I am wrong -- is that in postmodernism one
    story is as good as another. In memetics, some stories are more
    equal. ;-) They survive.

    As for truth, under many circumstances it is a criterion for the
    survival of a meme. There are also memes concerning truth, OC.

    Best regards,

    Bill
