Ok, I go along with this argument Ted, but how would you ' recognise ' a
meme lost in our noosphere and ' re-appearing ' back in another environ-
ment !?
Is the meme you forgot the same that you blogged upon your PC !?
The content may be, but the meme itself is not !
What flourish is a ' continuation ' of the meme, like the Space- Shuttle
is the continuation of the arrow. The fundamental ideas behind both
may be the same, but the memes to get result are not.
For what we today memetically ended up with, a large amount of
possibilities/ expressions/ indifferenties/ orders/ etc were and are lost,
if I follow your argument to the extreme, where do flourish the latters !?
Explain please...
Regards,
Kenneth
