Hi, wonderful to see this series on culture.
If you - or readers - are interested in rigorous study of culture and cultural evolution you may be interested in this 4 part interview series with one of Boyd and Richerson's star students: Professor Joseph Henrich https://lifeitself.org/learn/cultural-evolution
Also releavnt is the Second Renaissance project and its white papers https://secondrenaissance.net/paper which applies these ideas to social and political change. (Crudely you could think: rationality => wisdom, effective altruism => pragmatic utopianism and a second renaissance).
