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.
