    Thanks for posting this.

    I guess it has something for everyone, but will make no one happy. The
    artifact-meme folks will like the 'feature of a culture' phrase, but dislike
    the 'analogous to a gene' phrase. The neural-meme folks will like the gene
    anaolgy, but object to 'feature of culture' since they see cultural features
    as phenotype.
