Another saying comes to mind: "the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent" Life insurance policies (the market) can make money in the face of epigenetics (stay irrational) because most people can't yet adopt epigenetic behaviors, environments, & resources (stay solvent)

There's probably a novel metric that can be defined in there somewhere. Like "epigenetic availability." If availability > n, then culture = transhumanistic It's sort of like the point of escape velocity.
