>> Do you know of "memes" and/or "memetics"? Seems relavant here.

>Memes, yes - but I also disprove of the implication that we're just obedient hosts for them. It's rather the other way around, IMO - those memes which are fitting the mores of the times, have a chance to spread around. And, their spreading doesn't mean they've found victims or followers - just like an epidemic spreading of a disease, there may carriers which are actually immune.

Immune?

In my opinion, the only reason you disapprove is because you have conflicting beliefs. Your belief in free will prevents you from fully appreciating the new field of memetics developing.

Interestingly enough, your belief in free will is a meme, of which you appear to be a very obedient host!

You don't view the human as an obedient host of memes because your memes tell you that it can't be true.
