That is to be expected from memetics: the factors that increase the
success of a replicator--any replicator--are speed of copying,
lifespan, and fidelity of copying. The internet is a very fast meme-
copying mechanism, so evolution should happen faster there than in
other media. And "rational ideas", i.e., those that more closely
represent objective reality than their alleles, have a higher copying
fidelity than irrational ones, because reality itself can be used for
error-correction.
