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
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
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 reweave: merge 15 files via frontmatter union [auto] 2026-05-02 01:16:04 +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 reweave: merge 15 files via frontmatter union [auto] 2026-05-02 01:16:04 +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
the internet as cognitive environment structurally opposes master narrative formation because it produces differential context where print produced simultaneity.md
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
