A leftist approach to evolutionary psychology—questioning conservative assumptions about human nature while taking evolution seriously. Leftist Evolutionary Psychology asks: What if cooperation, sharing, and egalitarianism are as evolved as competition? What if human nature includes immense plasticity, shaped by social environments? What if evolutionary stories that naturalize hierarchy are ideology, not science? Leftist Evolutionary Psychology doesn't deny evolution; it insists that evolutionary explanations must be scrutinized for their political content and that human nature is both real and variable.
"They say men are naturally aggressive, women naturally nurturing—therefore patriarchy is natural. Leftist Evolutionary Psychology asks: what's the evidence? How much cultural variation? Could the same data support different stories? Evolution happened, but the stories we tell about it reflect our politics. Leftist evolutionary psychology tells different stories—about cooperation, about plasticity, about possibility."

Yarvinian evolution

"Yarvinian evolution" is the system by which dumb people arrive at dumb ideas instead of smart ideas because they think the dumb idea "sounds more badass".

The name is a hybrid between "Darwinian evolution" and "Yarvin" as in Curtis Yarvin, the "Dark Enlightenment" blogger-turned-philosopher whose grade-school-level dumb ideas were taken seriously by the likes of Peter Thiel and J. D. Vance.
The advent of conservative, "red pilled" or "black pilled" memes is a textbook example of Yarvinian evolution.

The theory that an intelligent pre-human race with entirely black sclera (eyes) evolved to the status of a civilization and technological mastery greater than that of the present human race on the planet earth, the population of which is entirely genetically manipulated and produced by cloning. These aliens/extra-terrestrials may inhabit any number of planets, including in our own solar system, and possess ultimate power over the earth according to the theory. Intelligent apes from before human history according to Brown's Sapient Evolutionary Theory cloned humanity and dominated them as slaves, and presently treat them lower than cats, dogs, and monkeys, treating all human beings as political chess pieces and science experiments.
Brown's Sapient Evolutionary Theory is depressing, but probably true.

Convergent Cultural Evolution

Convergent cultural evolution refers to the phenomenon where distinct cultures independently develop similar traits, practices, or technologies over time. This convergence occurs despite differences in geographical location, historical context, or cultural background. It's a concept often observed in anthropology and sociology.
Wow, the Hindus and Christians both developed the watchmaker analogy to represent the dive. What a unique example of Convergent Cultural Evolution.
