I don't really disagree but if you look at the most played games on steam many of them are now old. There's a growing inventory of games that are turning into classics.
>The dream can be either vivid or fuzzy, but it plays out in just the same manner as when I'm asleep, just kind of superimposed upon my normal waking senses. I guess this is a combination of "I just thought this is how it was for everybody," as well as "I never stopped and paid attention to what was actually happening, and once I did I noticed how weird it was."
This was the primary effect I got from theta wave binaural beats. Superimposed but at same time not easily accessible as a memory even though it was happening at the moment. Like with a regular dream once a bit of the dream was recalled the rest of it would come back to memory.
It was just the less controversial direction. You would be accused of anthropomorphizing and teleological thinking if you suggested evolution is a search process towards some optimum. Good luck talking to an orthodox biologist about evolutionary processes with constructs like agents and intelligence.
Is this over a lifetime or any given year? If it's the latter it's just a different 1 percent every year which will eventually include you. Clickbait framing of data.
I lean towards the "convergent evolution" explanations of perennial philosophies as well. However paleolithic humans have also gone through geographical and population bottlenecks. If there are convergent features in culture you would expect them to also be the ones highly conserved after going through such a bottleneck. I don't draw the same conclusions as the author but the idea of paleolithic story telling as being an ancient memory preservation mechanism is compelling.
