  The mingling copying mechanism Alex describes is very similar to [[Mimetic Theory]], which I first read about in Peter Thiel's Religion. It's a bit of an ironic connection, because that is an essay stroking a billionaire, the exact group that Alex argues is most affected by the defects of copying in large networks. It is interesting to point out that [[David Perrell]] does think that [[Peter Thiel]] is successful, in large part, because of his intentionally anti-mimetic lifestyle.

One last thing
