You draw a FUZZY line, then. BUT I bet most people, in less-than-luxurious
circumstances, on the breadline, will go for self-over-world in quite
top-heavy proportions. The "thinking about it" has lots of petty but
powerful memes competing against it.

What do you mean by "higher"? I'd have just said "another", because I reckon
memes can override genetic influences on behaviour, and genetic influences
can override memes, depending on the situation.

Every day my memes drive me to pick up a book I learn from, that's kind of
what's happening. Only I'd love to be able to phrase it without saying "/I/
alter /my/ memeset" because /I/ /am/ the memeset. The memeset alters itself.

Higher? Control? If the memeset is modulating itself, who's in control? The
memeset... or the memeset?
