Yes, there have been feral children. But did they have memetic behaviors?
(IMHO, no.) At any rate, they were not planned experiments, and, if they
had been, that would be totally unethical, yes?
>I think 'memetic sex' can include much more than two people.
Distinction needed- not 'memetic sex' whatever that might be, but 'what
is needed as analog to genetic sex in memetics, assuming both are
evolutionary processes'.
>Think of some rock concert.
