Wade,

Not necessarily ! This ' thought ' allows others to get shaped, to
be transmited. This ' thought ' boost the ones that are being used_
or vice versa, this ' thought ' takes up space in the brain and let
other memes fade away.
This ' thought ' is not directly involved in the cultural intercourse,
but its presence is being felt. It is there, somewhere taking up
space/ time.
As such it is not part of the culture pool, but its possible potential
shapes ideas.
