We are in an era of exponential exchange of both rational and irrational memes. The trajectory selection occurs based on what benefits mankind the most. This will, more certain than not, occur in cycles. Irrational memes unite people by utilizing a base feeling, mostly humor. These very united people will come together to expand the space for the share of rational memes, which lead to the development of technology, morality, etc.
The cyclic nature is necessary to unite fragmented parts when individuals ward off in the directions they mostly align with. This cyclicity of memetic exchange unites and fragments as necessary. It is analogous to time periods where generalists and specialists keep exchanging pedestals. To see through this, we have many analogous cycles that maximize growth, e.g., centralization and decentralization using the technologies of the time. This allows us to view these as mere tools rather than rigid ideologies or frameworks.
The study, analysis, and execution of all of these rely heavily on how we humans carry this forward. The future is highly uncertain, and the uncertainty (of our prediction!) grows as we expand the tech space/knowledge space. Therefore, the responsibility of humans to keep their civilization alive grows heavier. This tells us one thing—and so does a little common sense—that thought → speech → action. It is also easy to understand that the speech of a singular node can affect the thought of other nodes, leading to the influence of actions of multiple nodes.
This allows us to understand that to bring about positive transformation, it is necessary to control the generation and transfer of memetic material, which eventually affects the entire thought-to-action line, converting it into a self-completing feedback-like cycle.
