“Imagine someone from that future could go back in time and talk to you鈥攕omeone who lives at a time in which mankind only inhabits one planet, who is arguably among the final generations of humans capable of permanently changing the future of human cultures across thousands of planets by creating a durable culture and high-fertility-rate family that carries prosocial values into the future. Why would you tell them you didn鈥檛 make an effort to fix things while one person's efforts could still make a difference?聽”

“People who see themselves as 鈥済ood鈥 are much more likely to do 鈥渆vil鈥 things. This is because believing you are the 鈥済ood guy鈥 allows you to define your actions as good because you are the one doing them. This is why many successful cultures frame humans as intrinsically wretched. It can seem harsh to raise a child to believe deeply in their own wretchedness, but doing so helps them remember to always second-guess themselves by remembering their lesser, selfishly motivated instincts. Instincts that run counter to your morality and values have every bit as much access to your intelligence as 鈥渢he better angels鈥 of your consciousness and will use your own knowledge and wit to justify their whims. You can鈥檛 outreason your worst impulses without stacking the deck in your favor. Coming from a culture that anticipates bad impulses and steels you against them can do that. That said, cultures will no doubt develop different, less harsh mechanisms for achieving the same outcome.”

“One of our goals with this book is to recruit new participants for what we call the Index: A 鈥渃ultural reactor鈥 that catalogs intentionally constructed family cultures and monitors their outcomes intergenerationally while distributing said information in a way that allows all participating cultures to improve at a faster rate than that of a non-cultivated society. We want to make it possible for cultures in the network to improve faster than normal intergenerational memetic evolutionary powers would allow through a system analogous to horizontal gene transfer in gene therapy or lateral gene transfer in bacteria.”

“In the field of biology, 鈥渟uperbugs鈥 evolve when a bacterium, fungus, or virus is put in a low-stakes setting where it can both thrive and test itself against a panoply of our best defenses (like antibiotics). Hospitals present one such setting in that they serve as gathering points for already-infected individuals (many of whom are immunocompromised, making them 鈥渆asy mode鈥 for viruses, fungi, and bacteria) and are packed with antivirals, antifungal, and antibiotic medications. . . . Our modern social landscape has created a similar environment, enabling cultural viruses to evolve. These viruses cannot survive and reproduce independently and must parasitize healthy cultural ecosystems, rewriting healthy cultures' internal machinery to carry out their life cycles.”

“A culture that has a moral compass which always points toward the elite鈥檚 conception of good鈥攐r a society鈥檚 default conceptions of 鈥済ood鈥濃攈as a broken moral compass. Compasses have value because they point toward a single magnetic North, not a moving position.”
