Well, whatever, indeed.

Give it up.

Whatever it is.

This is a fledgling science, if it is a science, and as such it needs a
large group of explorers, not a blind set of fidgeters.

I have already suggested toilet training- clothing has been mentioned,
and I have fronted the idea that dreams are uniquely conscious activities
that are free of memetic content.

If this were an established profession with chairs at major universities,
then, yes, some secrecy surrounding early and novel approaches would be
warranted.

But- so far you sound like an astrologer using a new asteroid in her
program.

It ain't convincing me you have any intent whatsoever to introduce some
discipline to memetics.

Show us the money.
