I upvoted you just for using the word "meme" correctly.
- coldtea 12y agoThe supposedly incorrect uses of the term are also correct -- even with the blessing of the original creator of the word: """In 2013 Dawkins characterized an Internet meme as being a meme deliberately altered by human creativity—distinguished from biological genes and Dawkins' pre-Internet concept of a meme which involved mutation by random change and spreading through accurate replication as in Darwinian selection. Dawkins explained that Internet memes are thus a "hijacking of the original idea," the very idea of a meme having mutated and evolved in this new direction."""
