Another way of putting the idea here: What ideas could qualify as X, where X is to modern common sense as modern common sense is to ancient Greek common sense?
The idea here might also be: "Which memes M form a group acted on by a torsor of cultural zeitgeists C such that MC1=C2, where C2 is a more desirable cultural zeitgeist than C1?"
