Why is this in the "memes" community? It is not a meme, is it? We should have a general discussion community for topics like these! (if it doesn't exist already).
Check the sidebar. We use the Dawkins definition of meme here.
All shared ideas are memes.
Then what's the point of the meme community? By that logic anything posted is.
You've broadened the definition so much the term has become useless.
Yes, and that breeds creativity. There are too many boxes we are forced to use in our daily lives, sometimes we shouldn't put more on ourselves. Art and science are so sides of the same coin. You can't be a good scientist without being a bit of an artist. Our art just looks a bit different.
