Of course a successful meme does not have to be a moral one, or sensible for us or the planet, it just has to be one that is better at being reproduced than the competing memes of the day.
Aha! I see the memetic meme has captured another lump of wetware, and is attempting to replicate. My memes are resisting vigourously … or rather, the memes that use me are making me resist vigourously. Wups! I just accepted the memetic meme! Damn.
