Do particular computer systems or, say, programming languages, have any value to you?
Compare your attitude to these two questions, what accounts for the difference?
The fact that I am human.
And..?
And what? You're a human not a meme, so why are you assigning rights to memes? And why some memes and not others?
I am not assigning any rights to memes. I am saying that, as a human, I value some memes. I also value the diversity of the meme ecosystem and the potential for me to go and get acquainted with new memes which will be fresh and potentially interesting to me.
Why some memes and not others -- well, that flows out of my value system and personal idiosyncrasies. Some things I find interesting and some I don't -- but how that's relevant?
So why should anyone else care about your personal favorite set of favored memes?
