Wade is now reduced to maintaining that reading a written message
and hearing the same message spoken cannot possibly communicate
that selfsame message. He is also reduced to arguing that "God is
love" and "God is loathed" are necessarily closer together in meaning
than "God is love" and "God is infinite caring" because they
unquestionably are more similar performances. These are the patent
and blatant absurdities to which one is inexorably led when one follows
the postulated premises of the memeisthemotion model to their strange
conclusions.
