A cultural evolution hypothesis: forgotten crucial considerations across cultures
jessi_cata · x · 2026-10-23
The author proposes a skeptical hypothesis: this process of raising crucial considerations that later fade may have happened in many past cultures — naive positions have grown accustomed to once-weighed crucial considerations with details forgotten. This cultural-evolution-style model predicts intractable conflict between "non galaxy-brained" naive people of different cultures, and suggests that people raising such considerations may flag the convergent naive side less often over time.
