Yep. Lots of philosophies which by their nature aren't successful on the basis of memetic evolution preferring ideas that encourage their hosts to propagate them more. Rather than being actively taught they're something which either have to be observed or deduced Like minimalism. Sure, there's the minimalism that's being sold, but that's some mutant strain made to be able to market The Index Card is a bit amusing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Index_Card https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Index_Card where it's rooted on something free (the content of the index card), yet somehow they've tried to expand on it enough to be able to have something to sell I think this also shows up with corrupt people reaching places of power, where you can't blame them so much as the power structure selecting corrupt people for its own self propagation (the idea that "It Is Difficult to Get a Man to Understand Something When His Salary Depends Upon His Not Understanding It" can arise without the man being willfully ignorant when there was a selection process for someone capable of that ignorance)
