No, we are the environments in which information mutates by
contact with the prior information constituting our informational
gestalts, and from which it is, intentionally or otherwise,
propagated by means of its communication to other environments,
which sometimes choose to accept or reject it (selection), and
sometimes do so inadvertently or subliminally (yes, there is
subliminal rejection, having to do with the filters installed by prior
memes).
