The Order of Emergence
The emergence of text. How? Emergence of life, thought … What drives the emergence of new (being). What is “a being”? What is “not-being”? Who or what drives us? What is our vehicle? Something physical? Something biological? Something supernatural?
What drives text? Or better: how the text drives us? Or even better: how are we driven by meme complexes? What is our role in morphology of meme complexes?

An integrated model for societal exchange
There are two triggers for this post: The first comes from the straw man argument against capitalism as a system that assumes humans are homo economicus. This post will show that homo economicus and its rationality can be embedded in… Continue Reading
Memetic Kinship Selection
In response to the apparent selfishness dominating evolution on earth, as proposed by Charles Darwin (evolution by natural selection), various theories arose that distinguish animals from humans, altruism referring only to humans. Namely, they were directed against mankind’s illusion that… Continue Reading
Branding as integration vehicle for IR
Integrated reporting is based on two premises: That organisations behave like living beings (biological premise). That living beings exist holistically (holistic premise). Taken together, these two premises limit the possibilities of organisational philosophy, explanation, design, governance, control, risk management, and… Continue Reading
