| | June 11, 2009 | Comment about: Improper Characterization of a "Meme" is Ironically a "Meme" | | I find it interesting that you accuse others of using the term 'meme' incorrectly rather than merely recognise it is being used 'differently' to Dawkins original definition.
If you believe in 'memes' (in the Dawkinian sense) then surely you recognise that the meaning of any term is competing against rivial interpretations. To say a rivial interpretation is inaccurate assumes that you have some sort of gods eye view of the world that grants you access to the universal truth. If you don't have universal truth then all you can do is claim it is inaccurate in your community of practice.
