That memes ebb and flow is perhaps self-evident, but, let's look at the
'room in our lives' statement above. As we become a global village, for
so we are indeed becoming, perhaps this statement is becoming more and
more self-evident, and the fact we are losing cultures and cultural
artifacts are losing cultural utility are not just effects of domination
of more powerful memes, but the cruel side-effect of an actual content
limit.
