<<Is there any possible experiment to show Joe's meme-ory, or to prove the
presence of a meme in the mind? What conditions would be needed to
gather data about behavioral change due to a single, controlled, memetic
stimulus? Is there an experiment even possible? Internalist emes have
been used, as you say, mostly as post-hoc explanations of cause without
any empirical mechanism demonstrated.>>
Such experiments are performed daily in every high school in the world.
