Yea - memes are really interesting. Inclusive fitness is based on genes though, so in this example the priest could well be helping his own genes pass on. His memes could also be passed on – there probably is gene / meme overlap.

Dawkins did some interesting work / writing about genes - he was the one who publicised the idea of natural selection acting on genes. He is also a person I would consider very lucky – an interesting and well-paid job. That said, I would say that an ‘X’ proportion of life is down to luck, up to us to change the rest. With that in mind I am out sarging tonight!!

Cheers
