    Any process of looking at consciousness needs to have a 'subjective'
    element, in that one is studying subjectivity, yes?

    And by this I mean simply -

    meaning-4. Psychology. Existing only within the experiencer's mind.

    But I do agree that a science is not utilizing a valid analyzational
    method unless all hint of subjectivity is removed from that method.

    But, memes themselves are the blocks upon which subjectivity rests.
