Meta X = X about X
So, if X is data, then Metadata is information about data.
Data, data.
It’s self-referential.
Meta-archeology is archeology about the study of human history.
Archeology, archeology.
Meta-comedy is comedy about jokes. Very funny.
Even a metaphor is using one word/phrase to designate another word/phrase.
It’s next level stuff, right? Going deeper from within.
Following this “meta” pathway, I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m a Meta-human.
A human about people.
Meta-Cheers.
