Rather than "memes" we can call the phenotypes "concepts", "ideas",
"cultural patterns". What would we call the undiscovered genotypes?
Memes maybe?

You guys are idiots. I don't even know why I am talking to you. I don't
know if my ideas are worth anything and it would hurt me a lot if you
criticized them. Besides, who am I to know everything? If my ideas lead to
some interesting insights about memes, remember these were my ideas. In
case you disagree with me, remember I said I did not really believe it.
Please see me as controversial but wise, as this is the best way to hide my
real self. Please!
And remember you are stupid assholes anyway.
