A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

This is pretty much how I see things:
I think we're fucked for a variety of reasons, and it's looking uncomfortably probable that billions are going to die and if things really go pear-shaped it'll possibly happen in my lifetime, but realistically I can do fuck-all about any of it (I was more of an activist for years but now I'm middle-aged and tired) and in the past maybe year or so I've found myself more and more just refusing to stress about any of this. I'm going to try and live my life the best I can, do good by the people in my life, and just… I don't know, "stop caring" would maybe be too strong because I do care, but I guess I sort of accept what the situation is.
Doesn't mean I'm a nihilist or that I'm now clubbing baby seals and heating my apartment with a burning barrel of crude, but more like I've started to accept how much power – ie. how little power – I have over any of this and just want to live the latter half of my life in as much peace as is going to be possible.
