If, as it appears, the word "meme" must be muddied to include replicators
other than mental information, and distinctions must be drawn (as they
should be) among different kinds of cultural replicators, perhaps "D-meme"
would be a better label for mental replicators, since Dawkins first
published that definition for meme in The Extended Phenotype and Dennett
elaborated on it beautifully in Darwin's Dangerous Idea.
