      Not really, no.

      A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme

      The comic strip format could be characterized as a memetic style of communication that has spread by imitation from person to person.

      Such is not true of ferns, for example.

        The idea of ferns, as a decorative plant, is most definitely a meme.

        However you are right that ferns, as a lifeform, fall under the category of genes.

        Actually, ferns are a social construct.

            Those are a social construct too, because everything is.

              I think you might be confusing “social construct” for “things that there’s a word for” 😄

                No, reality is socially constructed, sociologists have been saying that for ages and it’s true. http://soulism.net

                    We’re just far enough left to see that “hierarchies aren’t self justifying” extends to reality too. We don’t accept realist defeatism. Realism is an infant ideology of avoiding responsibility for reality, and saying “it’s not my fault, it’s reality”.
