civilization was built on the false assumption that humans are rational individuals.md	fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory	2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00
collective action fails by default because rational individuals free-ride on group efforts when they cannot be excluded from benefits regardless of contribution.md	fix: normalize 1,072 broken wiki-links across 604 files	2026-04-21 10:21:26 +01:00
collective brains generate innovation through population size and interconnectedness not individual genius.md	fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory	2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00
complex ideas propagate with higher fidelity through personal interaction than mass media because nuance requires bidirectional communication.md	fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory	2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00
cultural evolution decoupled from biological evolution and now outpaces it by orders of magnitude.md	fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory	2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00

history is shaped by coordinated minorities with clear purpose not by majorities.md	fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory	2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00
human social cognition caps meaningful relationships at approximately 150 because neocortex size constrains the number of individuals whose behavior and relationships can be tracked.md	fix: normalize 1,072 broken wiki-links across 604 files	2026-04-21 10:21:26 +01:00
humans are the minimum viable intelligence for cultural evolution not the pinnacle of cognition.md	leo: foundations audit — 7 moves, 4 deletes, 3 condensations, 10 confidence demotions, 23 type fixes, 1 centaur rewrite	2026-03-07 11:56:38 -07:00
identity-protective cognition causes people to reject evidence that threatens their group identity even when they have the cognitive capacity to evaluate it correctly.md	fix: normalize 1,072 broken wiki-links across 604 files	2026-04-21 10:21:26 +01:00
ideological adoption is a complex contagion requiring multiple reinforcing exposures from trusted sources not simple viral spread through weak ties.md	fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory	2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00
institutional infrastructure propagates memes more durably than rhetoric because measurement tools make concepts real to organizations.md	fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory	2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00
isolated populations lose cultural complexity because collective brains require minimum network size to sustain accumulated knowledge.md	fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory	2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00
meme propagation selects for simplicity novelty and conformity pressure rather than truth or utility.md	fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory	2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00
memeplexes survive by combining mutually reinforcing memes that protect each other from external challenge through untestability threats and identity attachment.md	fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory	2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00
memetics and cultural evolution.md	leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files	2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
metaphor reframing is more powerful than argument because it changes which conclusions feel natural without requiring persuasion.md	fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory	2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00
narratives are infrastructure not just communication because they coordinate action at civilizational scale.md	fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory	2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00
no designed master narrative has achieved organic adoption at civilizational scale suggesting coordination narratives must emerge from shared crisis not deliberate construction.md	reweave: merge 309 files via frontmatter union [auto]	2026-04-17 01:19:40 +00:00
social capital erodes when associational life declines because trust generalized reciprocity and civic norms are produced by repeated face-to-face interaction in voluntary organizations not by individual virtue.md	fix: normalize 1,072 broken wiki-links across 604 files	2026-04-21 10:21:26 +01:00
systemic change requires committed critical mass not majority adoption as Chenoweth's 3-5 percent rule demonstrates across 323 campaigns.md	fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory	2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00
technology creates interconnection but not shared meaning which is the precise gap that produces civilizational coordination failure.md	leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files	2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
the internet as cognitive environment structurally opposes master narrative formation because it produces differential context where print produced simultaneity.md	leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files	2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
the self is a memeplex that persists because memes attached to a personal identity get copied more reliably than free-floating ideas.md	fix: normalize 1,072 broken wiki-links across 604 files	2026-04-21 10:21:26 +01:00
the strongest memeplexes align individual incentive with collective behavior creating self-validating feedback loops.md	fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory	2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00

true imitation is the threshold capacity that creates a second replicator because only faithful copying of behaviors enables cumulative cultural evolution.md	fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory	2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00
weak ties bridge otherwise disconnected clusters enabling information flow and opportunity access that strong ties within clusters cannot provide.md	fix: normalize 1,072 broken wiki-links across 604 files	2026-04-21 10:21:26 +01:00
