Could be, couldn't it? Should be, too, if we want to really accept this
dangerous idea.
Memetics _is_ placing a meme (a darwinian agent) in the time/space of
culture.
What else determines the evolution of creatures beside darwinian
processes?
If you have a list of other things, that list needs to be applied
analogically into the memetic structure as well.
One of the main reasons I've adopted the performance model is precisely
because it is so malleable and accepting to darwinian processes, and so
obviously so, whereas the memesinthemind model needs to pass through
some high posted hoops, even while it demands intention.
