I've been talking with people about how ideas spread, and here's the caveat that finally made the difference between memetics and a cult of personality click for me. A cult dies when the leader leaves the room. A meme forgets the leader was ever there. "Show, don't tell" doesn't need its author. Nobody can name them — and it spread anyway, into every classroom and every draft, because the line pays whoever repeats it. That's the test. Write something so true it gets stolen. If they need you in the room for it to land, you built a following. If they run it as their own and forget you exist, you built a meme. Aim to be forgotten. It means it worked.
