Humanity's Broken Superpower: Cultural Evolution's Breakdown

2025-02-23

This article explores a largely unknown crisis: humanity's cultural evolution mechanism may have broken down. The author uses the analogy of a car, with cultural evolution as its engine. Historically, diverse cultures and strong selective pressures ensured stable progress. However, globalization and technological advancement have led to cultural homogenization and weakened selection pressures. Cultural evolution now lags far behind environmental change, potentially leading to civilizational decline. The article suggests restoring cultural diversity and selection pressures, or fundamentally changing the cultural evolution mechanism, as potential solutions, but both face immense challenges.

Redefining Intellectual Circles: A Meritocracy Beyond Fame and Fortune

The core argument centers on continuously reevaluating research directions and selecting crucial, overlooked topics based on rigorous analysis as the key measure of true intellectual contribution. This iterative process shapes the author's and their inner circle's values.
