More on Memes
I hadn’t thought of relating memes to this concept of the “the end” and death, yet it makes sense. Just like the insights, feelings, and customs of those deceased individuals, memes will never truly die out. As long as they are remembered by some people, they will never “end.” Because the cultural memes that were relevant when we were younger are no longer as common, they could be considered outdated. However, much like the impact other people have on our lives, because these memes helped us grow and evolve into who we are today, they will always be present and never truly end. Because of this, I believe that, while there are other factors that play into our identity, memes definitely help shape our sense of self. Additionally, it is likely that we will then take what we learned from these memes and pass that knowledge on to others, further supporting their existence.
