Cultural ideas and belief systems can spread across the world – or fail to – much like genes or viruses. This chapter lays the conceptual groundwork for understanding such diffusion through the lens of memetics, the study of how ideas replicate and evolve. This material is designed for those standing at the frontier of emerging intelligence: quantum computing, machine learning, cognitive modeling, and the search for general artificial intelligence. The content speaks to the emerging intelligences from a culturally sensitive stand point and aims to spark conversations around our general consciousness being the next ecological landscape to protect.
