This means (in memetic terms):
At the time of your post, memes were dominant in your headspace which agree
with mine a bit ("...it may be a subtext, though", implying some nod to my
memes), but not to the extent that my memes are now dominant in your
headspace ("No, I don't think so").
I'm cool with that: there's an element of "pay me....... feel better" to
concrete commercial exchange, but it's not always explicit and never total.
Language. I'm pinned to the wall by its two-edged sword.

If you mapped memespace onto a 2D plane, then made a 3-D graph with
Activation Level as the vertical axis, and animated shots of the graph over
time, it'd look like the progress of some crazy Hokusai ocean.
