is "a meme is a meme is a meme" a meme?
The driving theme for issue 0.75 will be "meme expression". If you are reading this, then you are probably under the impulse of contagious memes that you feel a compelling need to propagate. Language is a virus and you are the host organism. You live in a world no longer governed by the evolution of genes, but the revolution of memes. Whether you are conscious of them or not, you are a carrier of these self-replicating ideas. You are the vehicle by which memetic code expresses itself through text and art. These memes might tell stories encapsulated in myth or metaphoric pulses. Meme expression might reveal itself in the form of textual or visual art or hybrids of these. Memes might disguise, mutate, replicate or cross-pollinate themselves as other art forms or textual methodologies spontaneously spawned from the universal lexicon of language.
