: Meme! Meme! Me! Me! Meme!
When will we unravel the memeome? Will the rice meneome be larger than the human memeome? Should couples get memetic testing before they date? Do we have opinions or merely memetic disease? If you get an idea from your cat, do you become a cat/human hybrid on the memetic level? Is an ideology a meme's chromosome? Genes are 90% genetic junk, molecular programming that serves no purpose, but just keeps getting copied, and copied because that's what genes do best. To keep pushing the analogy, this is a memetic basis for Sturgeon's Law, 90% of all sci-fi (and everything) is crap.
