    > memes in the head (sometimes called L-memes
    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.
