Evolution is the operating principle underneath everything else GritCult believes. It covers biology, and also the idea that ideas themselves compete, mutate and die the same way organisms do.

He treats belief systems as literally alive: myths and fables are a memetic emergent phenomenon of culture, there to embed mental models into the younger members next in the chain [1], not decoration on top of society but a functioning organ of it. His history reading can be visceral rather than theoretical: research into Weimar Germany leaves him stunned that, a hundred years on, it still reads like hell on earth, with no meme able to come close to the actual depravity and despair [2].
The lens turns on modern platforms too. In 2019 he said he had long been interested in TikTok without using it himself, and passed on a writer's point that the app shows the evolution of memes slowly: slow iterative change, real time behavioural manipulation [3]. Even attention itself gets the evolutionary treatment: in an age of engineered abundance, self-control becomes a revolutionary act [4], because the environment has evolved faster than human impulse control has.
He's comfortable holding contrarian evolutionary claims loosely, as thought experiments rather than doctrine: the Neolithic Revolution framed as a disaster for the human race [5], violence itself evolving in the post-internet age through memetic and biological pressure operating together [6]. The throughline is that nothing is fixed, not morality, not attention spans, not ideology. Everything is mid-mutation, including him.
Recurring themes
- belief systems as literally alive, competing and mutating
- history read viscerally, not only as theory
- media platforms as new vectors for old memetic evolution
- self-control as a revolutionary act in an age of engineered abundance
- violence and ideology as ongoing evolutionary processes
