Thinking comparatively to genes, in what way could a meme be classified as fit within its environment?
Could we build a model to find which memes are most fit and use it to usher in a new decade of incredibly dank memes?

If a meme is the social equivalent of a gene, then imagemacros are really more than just a singular meme, it seems like they are the social equivalent of an organism with many memes describing it.
It's easier to measure the fitness of an organism than it is to determine the cause of its fitness.
