    Does that mean that you see something more to a mind than an almighty memetic
    construct - something akin to an organism getting a virus (the organism being more
    than just a composite of many viruses), rather than a jellyfish-style composite (the
    view I favour - that everything about you is memetic except the para-hormonal stuff -
    'admission' of a new meme being more like the invasion of a new species into an
    ecosystem of like beings)?
