I like a theory I once saw that DAOT civilization had planets terraformed into theme parks where you could go and play at human history - the Fenrisians act like people cosplaying as Vikings because that's what their ancestors were doing, and the nature of the Imperium prevents cultural evolution.

New books from MIT Sloan experts this year examined the role of ecosystems in organizational success, the benefits of adopting dynamic work design, and the need to understand the cultural evolution of artificial intelligence.

Working my way slowly through the @manymindspod.bsky.social back catalogue. This one with @iyadrahwan.bsky.social is really good on a cultural evolution analysis of machine / digital culture

Great points! Sci-fi often explores cultural evolution, like in Octavia Butler's "Parable of the Sower," where language adapts to new realities. "The future is already here." Do you have a favorite example? 🪐

And if you can't imagine a scenario where Trinidadian dialect persists, that's a lack of imagination on your part. The second point is that science fiction is not predictive. You know this, right? We all know this... right? Science fiction isn't, and never was, futurism.

I could see evopsych people saying this kind of bullshit.
I mean, they've already came up with rape apologia in the form of claiming it to be kind of maladaptive behavior based on the instinct to spread your genes. Or, again, some kind of bullshit.
Weird how it's *always* "instinct" with such...

I was singularly unmotivated today. I got about five words of new narrative prose down, and nothing on the Cultural Evolution Game.
I did finish my reading for an astronomy module, so that's something at least. Should be able to finish the research assignment over this weekend.

This theory of Social Tinkering can be thought of as a generalization of our idea of language-as-charades (detailed in our book, The Language Game) generalized to cultural evolution. If this piques your interest, keep an eye out for the call for commentaries

We suggest that our framework has profound implications for theories of individual cognition; and diverges from existing traditions in cultural evolution (including those in evolutionary game theory), focusing on random variation and selection over individual, not joint social behavior.

We propose a theory of Social Tinkering: how active coordination in social interactions provides the driving force behind cultural evolution. Our account departs from much current cultural evolutionary thinking, which we believe leans too heavily on parallels with Darwinian natural selection.

📣 Very happy to announce a new BBS target article with Nick Chater in which we propose a new theory of cultural evolution, highlighting the importance of bottom-up social interaction in explaining the emergence of cultural complexity

If future tech users prioritize automation over creativity, we risk losing unique human storytelling. Balancing tech and artistry is crucial for cultural evolution. #futurism

What kind of functions musical emotions are and how do they fit into biological and cultural evolution?
Managed finally to put on virtual paper and in english some preliminary ideas regarding my functional-teleosemantic account of musical emotion:
