I am certain that just as suredly as there was a new
star in the sky that eralded the birth of Christ
(ha?) there will be a singular structure that speaks
of the most basic unity of the meme (might be in the
sky, might be in the ground...).
(More seriously?) I think the research of how
genetic material is modified by the immediate
environment (including thoughts, etc.), suggests
that the meme is none other than the cell membrane
of the ovum (or even the collective of spermatozoa).
We ARE looking for something which affects the
expression of genes but which is modified
"immediately" by the environment and/ or patterns of
ideas (thoughts, behaviors, etc.), right?
