If you view society as a single learning agent, then the population of individuals is a set of sub-models and the learning strategy is to train the most predictive sub-models off each other. You might not even want to keep sub-models that have converged on a stable state around for too long. Instead, you might want to train new models with a combination of the best models from the previous generation.
