Hi Wade,
<< Potential memes !? In a short intermezzo with Chris Taylor, IIRC, I
did refere to what I called ' Future Memes '.
Today's behavior/ actions/ assumptions/ etc will give rise to memes in the
future !!
Such memes evolve into niches created with the current meme set !
The meme (set) already thrives but is not yet determinated.
And yes, already niches are occupied by it as well in the present as well
in the future- one day we will bump into them.
There are not only potential memes possible but also potential art.
Don 't give up hope, Wade !
Regards,
Kenneth
