Absolutely, as far as the textbook definition goes (“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”).

As in, can a meme survive forever if it’s not rooted in some kind of truth or evidence?

IMHO the enduring faith-based beliefs (e.g., religions) are still based on some universal truths

They just built an entire narrative (& often verbose) scaffolding around those truths in the form of fables, legends, parables, etc

Do you think a meme can carry its weight forever without any logical gravitation to it?

Dawkins? He certainly did in the Selfish Gene

the memes matter guy prob has a lot to say about this

Not too shabby a definition for culture itself
