But thats a sort of opposable thumbs thing really, isn't it?
Evolution with the advent of genetic engineering permits choice in gene
evolution, rather than it just happening.
Same with memes, it is just that the engineering of them is far more
instrinsicly "natural".

Subject: Re: Darwinian evolution vs memetic evolution
I said that Memetic evolution has apparent I repeat apparent Lamarchkian
qualities. You are right evolution in true sense is not Lamarckian. But
like the Lamarckian situation new memes can actually be thought up with
causal puropose unlike in Evolution. Whether they get selected is anotyher
question
