Not only is ethnocentrism the optimum group evolutionary strategy, but duplicity (parasitism) is the optimum outgroup strategy, since it avoids the cost of conquest and replacement.

[A]h. That is the question. Whether tis human to err, or to err because one is not yet human.
😉 (I had presumed the former, but come to understand it is the latter.)

[T]he hard thing to swallow is the lack of agency of all but a few. The rest are just gene machines, riders of propaganda on an elephant of r-biased genes.

LANGUAGE IS CALCULATING WITH MORE DIMENSIONS
(worth repeating)
We tend to think of mathematics as calculation (it is) but language is also a form of calculation, and we have just (or I have just) begun to understand that language is a means of calculating (transforming inputs and outputs) in a market (competition) for signaling and influence, that produces continuous improvements in knowledge *IF* not impeded by error (supernatural, magical, ideal) all of which prohibit precision and increase error counter to the natural, scientific, and operational descriptions.

There are only Three good Prophets: Aristotle-Zeno (science, markets), Confucius
There are only Three good Prophets: Aristotle-Zeno (science, markets), Confucius-SunTzu (reason, hierarchy) and Buddha (intuition, individualism). The rest and everything that results from them have been a cancer to mankind for two thousand years, and every trace of them need be eradicated from the earth. Zoroaster and Abraham brought a curse upon mankind.

Time = rate of change in state. As we age we more slowly change state. Not only because there is less low hanging fruit to learn, but that the cost of reorganization of our accumulated patterns and consequent thinking increases, and at the same time our physical ability to learn decreases.
