I suppose it's semantic. Yes, all those things are necessary for memes
to occur. What you have described above is my 'cultural venue', which
includes humans and their performances, and all the methods used to
produce these performances, and only with all of these things working
together is cultural evolution possible.
Just my point.
Thanks, Kenneth, for at least understanding it.
