Right and wrong. Good and bad. Moral imperative. Righteous indignation. Dead reckoning. etcetera.
I hadn't thought about it, I guess. I was just looking for some elegant ambiguity in order to distract from the placating sort of memes and/or predispositions and slide a bit of irony under the door of perceptive imagination. Totally apart from internet memes which pretty much work like plastic bags and end up clogging the highways byways and waterways.
And here's the irony. Both use the internet. Neither needs it to render prescription.
What is a meme? (rhetorically)
From Wiki:
A meme (/miËm/â; MEEM)<1><2><3> is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation (mimesis) from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.<4> A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices, that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme. Supporters of the concept regard memes as cultural analogues to genes in that they self-replicate, mutate, and respond to selective pressures...
It's like when I was a kid and had access to encyclopedias. I couldn't concentrate on a book long enough in the library to finish it but I could enter any world I found in the World Book,
and imagine the places in my mind that my sight line couldn't quite reach,
That's what memes are. Places to reach, not places to slumber, or to surrender.
Prescription
From Wiki:
In general, the word prescriptive refers to refer to normative judgments, i.e. judgments about what is good or bad, such as:
What's obvious is this: post whatever meme that supports your beliefs and ignore anything else that doesn't. Because I'm right therefore you're wrong. Right?
