civilization was built on the false assumption that humans are rational individuals.md Auto: 41 files | 41 files changed, 89 insertions(+), 154 deletions(-) 2026-03-07 18:36:28 +00:00
collective brains generate innovation through population size and interconnectedness not individual genius.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
complex ideas propagate with higher fidelity through personal interaction than mass media because nuance requires bidirectional communication.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
cultural evolution decoupled from biological evolution and now outpaces it by orders of magnitude.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
every cognitive tool humanity built is scaffolding compensating for near-minimum biological capability.md Auto: 41 files | 41 files changed, 89 insertions(+), 154 deletions(-) 2026-03-07 18:36:28 +00:00
history is shaped by coordinated minorities with clear purpose not by majorities.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
humans are the minimum viable intelligence for cultural evolution not the pinnacle of cognition.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
ideological adoption is a complex contagion requiring multiple reinforcing exposures from trusted sources not simple viral spread through weak ties.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
institutional infrastructure propagates memes more durably than rhetoric because measurement tools make concepts real to organizations.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
isolated populations lose cultural complexity because collective brains require minimum network size to sustain accumulated knowledge.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
meme propagation selects for simplicity novelty and conformity pressure rather than truth or utility.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
memeplexes survive by combining mutually reinforcing memes that protect each other from external challenge through untestability threats and identity attachment.md Auto: 41 files | 41 files changed, 89 insertions(+), 154 deletions(-) 2026-03-07 18:36:28 +00:00
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 leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
narratives are infrastructure not just communication because they coordinate action at civilizational scale.md Auto: 41 files | 41 files changed, 89 insertions(+), 154 deletions(-) 2026-03-07 18:36:28 +00:00
no designed master narrative has achieved organic adoption at civilizational scale suggesting coordination narratives must emerge from shared crisis not deliberate construction.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
systemic change requires committed critical mass not majority adoption as Chenoweth's 3-5 percent rule demonstrates across 323 campaigns.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
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 strongest memeplexes align individual incentive with collective behavior creating self-validating feedback loops.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
true imitation is the threshold capacity that creates a second replicator because only faithful copying of behaviors enables cumulative cultural evolution.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
