5/ mechanisms of meme spreading: each mechanism preferences different kinds of memes. Memes that tend to increase the survival and numbers

18/ the genes predisposing people to those memes can be passed vertically. NW Europeans are notably susceptible to anti-tribalist memes due

@hbdchick and Peter Frost on this and gene-culture co-evolution.In recent centuries, technology -

One thing I neglected to mention here: rise of the modern large corporation is another reason for the rise of progressive, horizontal memes

Companies make more profits if they sell to everyone, so they benefit by promoting prog values. Also, their size allows them to communicate
