Memes and digital humor

The internet meme is the descendant of the folk tale — a portable, remixable unit of cultural meaning that travels faster than official truth and survives longer than official policy. Nasreddin would have recognized the form immediately; his stories spread the same way, anonymously and unstoppably, across centuries and borders. The meme that endures is the one that named something everyone already knew but had not yet said.
