Ladies and Gents,

Hello, sorry I've been so inactive recently, but come Monday I will have
finished (I hope) a particularly busy project, and may have a little
more time for emailing from work.

Anyway, I have a question for anyone more versed in memetics than myself
(I still consider that I don't really understand it in depth, despite the
fact that I've been on this ML for nearly 6 months!).

Memes are little snippets of information, etc, which we use as an operating
base for the way we act and react, right? Well, I was thinking (whirr-click):
Is ones rationale, and Logic a meme? Can one be infected by rationality,
or does rationality control the memesphere (or vice versa)? Is rationality
built in, or is it learned?

Any thoughts out there?
