We show that TTOM has a lot to offer for the study of the evolution of cultures, but that this also brings to the fore the dark implications of TTOM, unexposed in Veissière et al. Those implications lead us to move beyond meme-centered or an organism-centered concept of fitness based on free-energy minimization, toward a social system-centered view.
我们表明 TTOM 为文化进化的研究提供了很多,但这也突显了 TTOM 的阴暗含义,而这些含义在 Veissière 等人的研究中并未被揭示。这些含义使我们超越了基于最小化自由能的以模因为中心或以生物体为中心的适应度概念,走向以社会系统为中心的观点。
