Following on from the previous post, I have discovered what Meme means, thanks to
dictionary.com, which tells me that
Meme = 'A cultural item that is transmitted by repetition in a manner analogous to the biological transmission of genes'
It was coined by Richard Dawkins in 1976 from the greek /mimeisthai/ which means 'to imitate/copy'.
Presumably then, your worldview or culture is your 'memetic makeup'?
