[kj] Killing Joke 2003 or Hosannas from the Basements of hell

[Brendan Quinn]

Meta in that context basically means ‘self-referential’, so for example meta-philosophy is philosophizing about the nature of philosophy itself. Here’s part of a definition from Wiki:

 

In HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistemology"epistemology, the prefix meta- is used to mean about (its own category). For example, HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metadata"metadata are data about data (who has produced them, when, what format the data are in and so on). Similarly, HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamemory"metamemory in psychology means an individual's HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge"knowledge about whether or not they would remember something if they concentrated on recalling it.HereHere

 

 

Therefore a meta-killing joke is a ‘killing joke’ that refers to Killing Joke. *grin*

 

Made sense in my noggin when I wrote it, then again my noggin might be past its use-by date :-)

How about "meta-killing joke"? I kinda get it, but not entirely. 

(ab. when i wrote everyone's heard 

of kj-influenced bands but not KJ itself..)

Cheers Brendan

Yes, I've used d'fence with an intention : )
I'm not getting your first sentence, though.

What do you mean by my "false dichotomy"?
Is that a serious illness? lol

NICE!

 

I see your false dichotomy and I raise you an open mind…

 

Not sure if you realise but d'fence was quite a good pun in that context :-)
