Like, instead of those catastrophic kinds of, you know, ways of dealing with it, which actually can undermine a lot of the connections in a society, you know, restorative justice is really about, well, okay, how do you write
wrongs to the extent that you can.
And how do you keep that individual, you know, as a part of the society?
And, you know, do the damage control to the extent that you can, but then, you know, try to actually cultivate something out of that that's that's
positive.
So I think, you know, when we talk about human societies, there's, you know, there's analogies, but it can go even further than just, you know, analogies, because I think there are, you know, if we look at small scale societies, there are a lot of situations where, you know, restorative justice does work to actually reintegrate people, you know, and rebuild social relationships in situations where, you know, if you were just using punishment, that wouldn't happen.
Yeah, that's interesting.
So there's one level on which it makes sense and another level, I think, on which it doesn't quite.
So the idea that, you know, memes could be like exploiting our brains and our information systems to spread themselves because the ones that, you know, are good at spreading spread like 100 percent.
Right.
Like there's certainly exploitation going on.
But to call them cheating, like there has to be some entity that they're cheating on.
And, you know, yeah, like what are the rules that they're breaking of what collective system that they're a part of?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like a virus of an idea.
Right.
I mean, you know, there are a lot of ideas that, you know, aren't necessarily good for the survival or the reproduction of the individual who, you know, possesses them.
Like, you know, there are cults, right, that, you know, advocate for things like, you know,
suicide that advocate for, you know, not having children, right, like things that are at odds with the survival and reproduction of the organism that, you know, harbors them.
