I advocate the same perspective towards both genes 'n memes: stop trying to preserve your current configuration verbatim, and start trying to participate in a process that iteratively adapts and improves. Some examples: - Marry / procreate with an opposite you're attracted to. - End stasis-inducing IP monopolies. - Let other people contribute to your codebase when practical. - Focus on trying to benefit from immigration rather than eliminating it. - Don't let political units at any level get so powerful that you can never refactor your culture in a different way. Regarding your contingencies, I put zero probability on my creations (kids, code, businesses) resembling me for long. I wouldn't wish them to as I doubt I'll be useful in their world. I'd like it if they could trace part of their prosperity to values or traits I imparted, but you have to find notions of continuity and contribution that aren't just a distance function from yourself.
