Snippet: Ideas And Cultures Are Probably Parasites The Decode Diary

Towards the end of the conversation, I can tell Jared is an optimistic man considering most of the topics we discussed were indicating to an extent that human wouldn't be able to survive far into the next century. He suggested replacement questions and statements, one of which I like a lot - Ideas and cultures are probably symbiotes instead of parasites.
I raised the question of whether ideas and cultures travel from host to host, sucking energy for their own benefits. For context, if a dangerous social media trend sweeps the planet, we are probably doomed. But one reason we haven't seen that become true is because we are self-conscious beings that know how to reject suggestions of ideas. Instead, we know how to benefit from ideas and cultures, fostering a symbiotic relationship.
