>How is Aristotle not a crypto-Platonist? Aren't his categories basically the forms of all possible experience?

>I'm not touching Hume
The critique is a direct response to Hume and his pseudo BS. Read the Enquiry atleast
>Dunno about Leibniz
You'd be a fool not to read his philosophical writings. Read his metaphysics and the Monad just for starters.

I'd stop reading the critique and backpeddle just a bit if I were you.

Nichomachean Ethics. All of Aristtotles works read like a science book so be prepared to be bored to death yet continue on because the topics discussed are interesting and fruitful. He is extremely surgical, so I recommend Aristotle in small dosages to start you off. Good luck.

Does meme come from the Greek "Mimêsis" (representation)? If it does, and from what I think, memes are representations of various, but specific things. Sometimes the things being represented originally are funny and other times they are not, but I think the representation itself, the meme, is supposed to be on some level funny, whether through irony, hyperbole, absurdity, a mix, etc. The things we call memes are not just jokes, but those singled out things that are parodied and connected to other things. The brainlet meme for instance is used to represent someone that the poster is calling dumb, and can even be themselves, and is derived from the wojak meme, which is used in various ways, some of which is self-representation.
