—“My collectivism and ethnocentrism is ultimately founded upon individualism. Individual incentives and self interests lead individuals into groups, because they can obtain more in groups than they can on their own. Kinship just happens to be a sensible criterion around which to organize a group, for a variety of evolutionary reasons. Individual incentives also lead people to group others into groups and consider them in terms of statistical, rather than individual, criteria. People will consider each other as individuals when they have individual information at hand. But sometimes, in light of statistical data, the cost of obtaining the individual information, or the risk of getting it wrong, do not outweigh the expected benefit from doing so.”— Ely Harman
