    Great question.

    "Logic" in my view isn't a meme, as it's a way of thinking.

    'It's illogical captain" (and other variations of Mr Spock's common lines)
    is a meme, on the other hand, as it is a thought or recorded expression that
    is transmitted to others.

    Can logic be transmitted? Perhaps the idea of logic can be, but the thing
    itself IMHO cannot.
