      Cultural knowledge (evolved rules for operating in an environment) depreciates as the environment changes. Today's world changes so fast that our cultural infrastructure has been depreciated to almost zero, which causes many social ills.https://twitter.com/patrissimo/status/1021929025252425728 …

      "Rapid change means we can’t just listen to parents or sages. Nor can we just follow every new fad: most are pre-failure experiments and many were crafted to benefit others at our expense, memetic boarders who must repelled lest they sink our mental ship." #MySecretWritingProject

      Our culture consists of more than a dwindling collection of pre-Enlightenment rules of thumb. It also contains deep, new ideas. Ideas about freedom, individuality, and progress, along with practical skills like the ability to use Google, calendars, and calculators.

      Definitely, but those ideas are much more weakly evolved because they have not been subject to centuries of memetic competition. Hence, they are less effective, and it's harder to find the good ones.

          Our branch of Western culture has been around three centuries at least. Not only that, but the criticism and selective pressure we have learned to apply in that time vastly exceeds those of the previous fifty centuries.

          ‘The good ones’ may be good replicators, but bad ideas. @DavidDeutschOxf distinguishes between: 1. Rational memes - survive by being better than rivals at surviving criticism. 2. Anti-rational memes - survive by disabling creativity, preventing one from thinking of rivals.
