Prof. Tim you are a genius. For years I have been seeking that answer
but could not get a confirmation of that concept from anyone.

What do you think about "meme accumulation" : harbouring a meme
and then seeking like-memes to validate and enforce it? I tend
to reject religious arguments in general but I become elated
when I read atheist philosophers like David Hume.

BTW does anyone recall Brodie's position on the Level-4 mind
to which "no meme is true"?
