Memes are manifesting a timeline that’s identical to any other form of art. Starting as a medium, then transcending itself and being aware of the fact that it’s a medium (‘meta’ memes). Then pushing the medium to the limits of its abstraction - seeing how esoteric they can become and still retain meaning (in the form of humour).

I imagine memes in the future will transcend the abstract, and will become the medium in which difficult and challenging questions and ideas will be communicated.

Then, once they start to become archaic in the same way art has become to us in the modern day, a new kind of ‘meme’ will be created when we reach the next technological breakthrough, which would go through the same life cycle (but at a faster and faster rate) until that, again, is superseded at the next technological revolution.

memes are the cultivation of abstractions which constitute cultural paradigms.
more than likely there exist neurological components geared towards meme transmission.

Example: Most things can burn, but few things can touch a crowd like an idiot igniting their own fart.

I actually can't fault that from a core stand point. Well done Anon.
It's great to see abstraction of convention. But you lose a point for labeling your own bias.
Kind of a faux-pas when doing something that could be gained from.

If you're just cobbling. I'd suggest to think about the effect of Poe's law pre-internet.
Memes have exerted kingdoms to dust and caused great minds to stroke in past.
Not just the last 100 years. But well into BCE.
