  • Evolutionary Dominance an Extension of Axelrod’s Work

    I’ve had Axelrod’s evolution of cooperation on my recommended reading list for years. If you want a book length treatment of the subject of modeling cooperation so that you have an even better grasp of The Evolutionary Dominance of Ethnocentrism, then after you read the paper below, get Axelrod from our digital library (free). https://www.amazon.com/Evolution-Cooperation-Robert-Axelrod/dp/0465021220/

  • The Animal Majority Provides Survival by Incremental Graceful Failure

    The evolutionary reason some of us have agency and most of us do not, is because reason is subject to temporal failure, and information is subject to intertemporal failure, and instinct provides a very successful method of graceful failure. Meanwhile selection for success of those with agency allows others to adopt new knowledge and understanding by imitation without abandoning their dependence upon intuition. This is the same reason we still have cheaters. While cooperation is most beneficial under ordinary circumstances, cheating (immorality), and predation (violence), are extremely valuable methods of graceful failure. The animal majority is insurance in case we fail. But they are not to be taken seriously whatsoever.

  • “Group evolutionary strategies may appear as an in-group Red Queen effect leadin

    —“Group evolutionary strategies may appear as an in-group Red Queen effect leading to speciation (divergence), but might actually be coevolution of three separate breeds which are approaching near complete convergence. The three breeds being Denisovian-Homo Sapiens hybrids (Asians), Neanderthal-Homo Sapiens hybrids (Caucasians) and Homo erectus.””—Bill Joslin

    I don’t know if you can other than by following me. Very few authors write about evolutionary strategy using economics, and I don’t know any other that apply economic thought all the way down to the ‘neural economy’. We just aren’t there yet other than a very few random people.

  • FOR INTELLIGENCE TO EXIST IT MUST DEFEAT TIME From the Universe to the particles

    FOR INTELLIGENCE TO EXIST IT MUST DEFEAT TIME

    From the Universe to the particles, to elements, to DNA, to every idea in your head formed because it can form, and if it can form, and given enough opportunity, all that is possible to form will eventually become probable to form, and probably and therefore certain to form.

    The purpose of intelligence is to defeat time. otherwise there is no value of intelligence.

    If there was some divine being he has chosen NOT to defeat time, and therefore eliminated the only reason for intelligence. So why would an intelligent being pick the dumbest possible method requiring zero intelligence with which to create man – or anything.

    Ignorance of information is not the same as absence of information. Whether we know something or not is a measure of our ignorance.

    Why are so many humans afraid there is no pack-leader?

    Why is it that if the most parsimonious example is simply ‘really big numbers and really long times, eventually explore all opportunities for conservation of energy’?

    My standard of ‘fully human’ is that of fully transcending the animal.

    If you are not fully human then you will find excuses for satisfying the animal impulse just like a dog must circle three times before it lay’s down, or a cat sniff it’s food before it eats – and if it can’t it will starve.

    One must transcend the beast to evolve into the human. Once one is fully human one can transcend the body with reason, knowledge, and instrumentation.

    The beast, ignorance, and the capture of energy are all that prevent us from being gods.
