Memes cannot survive without a human brain. We are their vehicle, but
are the our effluent, or our children?

I agree to an extent, but this sort of argument tends to drift towards
tautology. Whatever survives survives, and hence has survival value in
some sense. But a meme that turns someone into a suicide bomber or
celibate monk probably doesn't have much survival value for that
person. My feeling is that memes favour their own survival, as Richard
Dawkins suggested.
