This is a comment responding to your question about what “meta” is. It’s a bit obtuse and somewhat poorly worded. By talking about the post itself instead of speaking within it, it should be “meta”.

However, this comment was written in the hopes that the concept of meta narrative is better shown than explained. Whether that works or not is anyone’s guess. Especially not mine.
