    Associations is not the word I should use!
    I mean really all the possible interpretations,all possible angles of a problem,all the
    consequences,all what an individual carries within himself about society/ethics/
    politics/community/etc...

    That is_all what possibly can be coded into the meme to give the specific meaning
    is replicated.
    Of course there are individual differences because all of us are linked to different
    memetic lineages and to different genetic lineages for that matter.
    We are at some point all ' memetical unique '.

    That is,no one ' thinks alike ',no one gives the same importance to a problem,we
    all do not want the same result in tackling for example ticklish political questions.

    ' Our ' memes have no urge to throw themselves into the of collectiveness in which
    they will perish though!!

    More on this in my next message.
