Susan Blackmore 談｢迷因｣與｢技因｣

Human culture acts as a powerful evolutionary engine, driven not just by genes but by self-replicating memes that shape behavior and ideas. Now, technology has spawned a third replicator: the teme, or technological meme, which evolves largely outside human control. The global spread of habits, like folded hotel toilet paper, illustrates how memes propagate with little regard for usefulness. As these processes accelerate, the consequences for humanity and the planet grow more unpredictable and potentially hazardous.
