That's so meta 

Meta means of or relating to itself. Invoking the phrase will confer a measure of humility unto simplistic understandings of life which from time to time take the form of egoistic or at-a-distance notions about one or another's relation to the universe. This is accomplished by applying the definiton of the phrase/idea "That's so meta" which infers a measure of continuity between individual consciousness or group consciousness and all else considered to lie beyond or outside or apart from the illusory boundary of one's entity and/or awareness, all else being defined as: "the rest of the universe". Governing the relation of parts to the whole.

The humans living on earth keep a list of endangered species, remaining conveniently and blissfully unaware to their own threatened status, a status which is substantiated by facts of life. More specifically, by virtue of the reality of their complete reliance on a single planet (Earth) for their continued survival as a species. That's so meta.

Meta-status Superiority 

The superiority one feels when they post a status on Facebook complaining about how bad other statuses are.

Whilst such a meta-status often attracts many likes because many people agree, it is becoming an increasingly popular trend for people who think that they are clearly better than those who post depressing and emotional statuses onto Facebook.

Such statuses are known to often contain the words "emo", "depressing", "life story" and "stop complaining". May also contain other Facebook elements such as 'likes' or 'inboxing'.

A real life, copy pasted example of a meta-status: "I do not come on Facebook to read your diary or your life story, nor do I come on here to read your pointless statuses every half an hour and NO I don't want to like for a like or an inbox.. Give it a rest!" Here, the user clearly feels a sense of meta-status superiority.
