Memes show a picture's worth 1000, yeah. that one.
   I prefer animated gifs myself and Vines - TOTALLY hooked on
   those 6.8 second things. Making them, not consuming them. Made
   like 12,000 so far.

   I may be GenX but I grew up on the 'net and have had plenty of
   meme-only conversations without a single word used smile
   emoticon I've also had entire conversations in pseudo-code back
   in the days of Usenet. Fun stuff.

   Actually pseudo-code would work well for analytical
   philosophical discussions.

   Or line drawings. Little machinary showing the logical
   progressions. Even though I'm not an engineer, this would be a
   suitable form of discussion for analytical philosophy. It's not
   hard to read.
