Ep. 76 - Memetics vs. Genetics - with Scott - Little Pine Farmer

Scott (@LittlePineCO on Twitter) has a homestead at 8K feet in CO. We talk about his homestead and challenges of setting up a homestead in Zone 4A. We discuss his recent comment on the Men's Forum on FarmHopLife Podcast about "Memetics is more important than Genetics". Memetics is transferring ideas through pictures, symbols. You commonly see it as a meme, but it is deeper than that. It can go viral, and, as we saw in 2020, can even reach the level of a "mind virus". We also compare it to transferring genes to kids. How to transfer ideas to other groups and the next generation if you don't have kids.
