Which has nothing to do with the separation or nonseparation of a meme
and its supposed "capsule". How a mind responds to a particular meme is
typically a function of how the meme reacts with the existing meme
solution in the mind being infected.
Now, one may define a "capsule" as the manner in which a meme is
presented to the individual. Memes presented as part of works of art for
example, would have a sort of surprise or unnoticed injection of memes
to the unprepared, while a talkshow or lecture format would prepare
people and their existing meme's to put up defenses to new ideas.
One could posit that this is why many liberal or libertarian ideas are
introduced to the market and ultimately gain acceptance, while you
hardly ever see a successful conservative new meme, as there are many
more liberal or libertarian artists than conservative artists.
