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.

"You're so meta" (:: sigh::) is a good response to the good ole fanboy mentality of how the ideal hyperspace and all associated realities therein, and facetizeably outwardly focused as well, regarding one's sense of self, all in all, "THE MEDIUM IS THE MESSAGE, NOT the massage." Massages are either given for free by friends or loved ones, as messages should be as well." Postmodern culture saw media massaged as clay or play-doh for those with less than pure (circle back to Platonic Ideology now) intents. also study some on the difference, comparisons and contrasts, of Justified True Belief vs. Opinion.
