      this helped clarify a dynamic for me. in the same way there's a "god-shaped hole," there are "X-shaped holes" for X a bunch of deep, fundamental concepts like sin, and any sufficiently mature ideology eventually adapts to fill these holes one way or the otherhttps://twitter.com/cognitivicta/status/1188178839949602816 …

      if your ideology is social justice, you might fill the "sin-shaped hole" with e.g. whiteness or patriarchy. in this situation, in order to call out something that you feel emotionally is a sin you *must* contort it into whiteness, patriarchy, etc.

      this produces a blindspot where you become unable to acknowledge sins that you haven't been able to classify as whiteness, patriarchy, etc. e.g. emotional manipulation and abuse by women (unless they're white! then you can use "white feminism")

      we might talk in terms of there being a "concept economy," and of ideologies competing to satisfy demand for concepts like "a concept of sin" and "a concept of virtue"

      The way I’ve thought of this is with the term “mimetic niche.” If there is a “god meme”, it occupies some cognitive niche - it explains and predicts certain signals, while producing others. Each “x shaped hole” would be its own niche.

      yes, the ecosystem metaphor is also very apt and maybe even more so! positions memes and clusters of memes as more active agents rather than just commodities to be consumed by a market

          Exactly. Species of memes grow, mutate and spread, competing to best fill the niches in which they operate. Also let’s you ask questions about pollution and mimetic equivalent of climate change.
