However, this is not the whole story, and individual differences in susceptibility to particular memes may reflect differences in genotype and development. Unfortunately, computer music memes are not replicating and spreading themselves much further than narrow technically specialised audiences. Isn't it simpler to posit that selection is taking place not at the level of groups of individuals, but at the level of memes themselves? We agree with most of this, although we prefer not to use language that implies that memes are independent living entities. In this way, memes introduce new selectional forces and new kinds of variation into the cultural evolutionary process. The minds are habitats of the memes, and they are certainly limited in their capacity. The advantages of precision and predictability conferred by these mathematical models are bought at the considerable price of sidestepping the distributed, relational processes through which memes are stored and evoked. Each mind has only a limited ability for the support of memes; therefore, there is considerable 'competition' among memes for entry into as many minds as possible. According to this account, then, the concept-wielding mind is a kind of social construction, brought into existence through the absorption of memes from the surrounding culture. Similarly, human beings do not create or adopt cultural variants (or memes) at random, because past phylogenetic and developmental processes, including past learning, inform these creative and selective processes. Memes do this through the processes of variation, mutation, competition, and inheritance, each of which influence a meme's reproductive success.

Dawkins, for instance, hypothesizes units of cultural information, memes, which undergo a quasi-evolutionary transmission through imitation. Let us pursue the analogy between memes and genes further. Once the genes have provided their survival machines with brains that are capable of rapid imitation, the memes will automatically take over. The computers in which memes live are human brains. Perhaps we could regard an organized church, with its architecture, rituals, laws, music, art, and written tradition, as a co-adapted stable set of mutually-assisting memes.
