I think this makes sense to me. Do you mean that the idea of Logic
existing is a meme, but the actual process of such is not?

So logic feeds the rational side of behaviour?

Hang on, does this mean that If I take logic and rationality to be
memes, and realise how to bypass their effect, I would be post-rational?
Is that good or bad? :)
