the unexamined relationship between that first claim (Thiel's non-conventional understanding of evolution) and the rest of the claims (the mimetic, evolutionary, and infectious nature of language and stories) is sticking out at me like a pimple that must be popped
-
eeeeeeeeew I can see it tbh "current narratives re: evolution are qualitatively wrong" vs " . . . quantitatively" wouldn't be toooo surprised if basic story of evolution is about right but the molecular / genetic / something else drivers are much weirder than we know right now
-
The basic expression of that idea is just to note that nucleic acids are not the only replicators that influence survival fitness. Some of those replicators don't even have distinct molecules associated with them. And yet they do replicate and mutate and are inherited.
-
Thiel is a gay man. Not participating in the DNA replication game. Gives a certain perspective and urgency about getting your other replication game right.
-
oh man hmmm yeah bio replication is kind of taking the pressure off for me apart from the "accumulate material goods so to pass on capital to demiclones"

like, it's fine as a tool, trying on beliefs and subjecting the conventional narrative to scrutiny, but it can only be that and not your final criteria for holding a belief. holding is crucially different from keeping in mind
