    Adopted by whom?

    The child, indoctrinated into a religious overview, has no opportunity to
    deem this valuable.
    But, yes, the society did, which is why it trains the children in these
    things.

    If memes were only deemed valuable, no-one would have any- like
    breathing, you can't take the time to actually think about what you're
    doing, nor does the body let you. You just breathe.
