In fact this is exactly what Nihilistic memes attempt to do.
Whereas memes emerge from genes, are extensions of genetic relationships, inherited from past, Nihilism imposes a way of thinking that results in genetic isolation - Christianity, Islam, Orthodox Jews etc.
It begins with a set of rules, ideals, and then attempts to convert them into a genetic type.
This is the inverse process of how memes actually emerge: genes in geographical isolation, producing rules, ideals, (culture) that further isolates them from world, as distinct.
Nihilistic meme begins as ideal and then imposes a harsh rule to produce cultural isolation, distinguishing itself. The ideals are contrary to anything experienced, or perceived as outside the mind. The type of man it produces, as a representation of its ideal, is usually a sickly, insane man.
A man incapable to survive outside human environments - an urban man, requiring sheltering to continue believing what he does, and distinguishing himself as such, only in relation to other humans.
In nature such a man would either perish, if he remained true to his own principles, or he would be forced to lie, contradicting his beliefs with his actions.
