I posted it just to evidence that I know the term memes has evolved around photos and visual scenes. Outside of the current use of meme as a term, I see it as it was defined by Dawkins. Memes communicate a context and a ready meaning. Something easily remembered and socialized.
In fact, the cat fortune-teller, does offend me at a sub-conscious level. In the light of consideration, of course it is merely humorous and doesn't represent my pride about supporting Psi. But, it does mirror the meme I did have in mind - the meme where anomalous information transfer, without a signal, is not tractable in science terms. The meme is framing a - interesting and playing some small role - context. The current meme(s) of Psi are not the engaging hot topic with paradigm changing fundamentals, which I believe is brewing. I am sincere in seeing the knee-jerk reaction to Psi evidence changing to interest.
Traction is needed - in a marketing sense - and that means a different foreground in the context. A foreground with new research of interest in building a model of how the heck it works.
