Did humans or ideas evolve first? I personally think that you can’t have one without the other, and that they co-evolved in a mutualistic way. Susan Blackmore said in her Ted Talk that culture is an imitated behavior, and I believe that our genes give are responsible. But I also think many of our shared ideas and behaviors have the power to influence our genes. I think that toxic ideas can spread in a similar way to selfish genes, and that both harm individuals. The video about tide pods demonstrates that not all ideas progress to become better over time, but rather some evolve to become worse.
