    I love how you call them memes. These are things philosophers talked about long before the word meme had its modern day meaning, even before it was coined in the first place. But in a way, yes, they are all memes

      I mean, I also acknowledged them as philosophical dilemmas in another comment, but I suppose it is my own fault for not clarifying that in the first.

        No, I wasn’t ironic. It’s not wrong to think of these dilemmas, paradoxes and ideas as memes. Memes are not only pictures
