The digital garden

Ideas

The worldview underneath everything — how I think the world actually works.

It all runs on one chain of thought: biology → memes → cults → innovation → technology. The belief that through death, some things improve — for a while. Evolution, applied to ideas, communities and yourself.

01

Cults

Biological and memetic organisms. The most powerful coordination technology humans have — studied, not feared.

02

Memes

Ideas that propagate, mutate and compete. Culture is downstream of which ones win.

03

Innovation

Technology as evolution. New tools are new organisms — they live, breed and kill the old ones.

Notes & fragments
