Co-operation not Competition

But it’s not all naked tooth and claw and competition! We can develop our spiritual side over our animal side. Most of all the technology can be harnessed to make us a community—by sharing, devolving, decentring. And I believe the hypothesis of the meme is overstated: cultural phenomena can be explained far more effectively by delving into and investigating the role of the Unconscious in the construction of the Self through Language. And again, the dialogic role of sharing through speech is important in unravelling these problems and examining our psyche.
