I think I get your meaning, Reed, but this statement is easily misunderstood. Evolution in its broadest sense, change over time, occurs everywhere.
Information is stored elsewhere, but humans only have access to it through our distinction-memes.
If this care, something has happened in the environment that tends to inspire minds to create a new meme. But that's because of the interaction of those minds with the environment. If the environment changed with no minds around, no memes would be created. A fork is an object. A Fork is not a fork unless you have a human being recognizing it as such.
