New commentary on Chater & @mh-christiansen.bsky.social's "Social Tinkering". Drawing on their theory of bottom-up, emergent complexity, 1) I show that complex cultural institutions frequently privilege particular subgroups; and 2) argue that humans are well-adapted 'cultural lobbyists'.

I just finished reading Shamanism by Manvir Singh He draws on his time living among shamans to show what the tradition looks like in practice. It's an interesting read. https://uxbrad.com/activity/20260919/083858/ #BlueReads #BookReview #Nonfiction #AmReading
