Wishful thinkers all, we are easy prey for the literature of deceit whose plots promise free riding in a universe whose red queen we struggle to race. We long for suggestion. We long for entertainment. We long for respite that our Myths, Religion, Literature and philosophy provide for us. But we must not confuse fantasy with reality. When the curtains close, and the house lights rise, nature still awaits us.

Men have been domesticating each other since we first cooperated to take down an alpha.
It took a second great leap: property, to domesticate women.
And in one century they have undone ten thousand years of our labor.

There is a very big difference between conformity and not imposing costs. Conformity can be thought of as investing in the commons. Not imposing costs merely prevents harming them. One of the greater problems we have had is in destructive signalling and advertising as a luxury good. Signaling is one thing. Trying to get attention another. And exporting costs yet another.
punish the wicked: the exporters of costs.

Old fashioned military service teaches you that your silly little freaking job that seems mundane actually matters. Because when men are cold, or hot, tired or hungry, frightened or stressed, all those little things turn out to have been important in keeping everyone alive.
The commons is like this. All the stupid little stuff matters. Picking up litter. Not walking on the grass. Crossing in zones. Good manners. Punishing vandals, miscreants, and the impulsive – all this stuff matters.

@JonHaidt @sapinker Sadly, the distribution of philosophers is worse than that of psychologists prior to Operationism. For the same reason.

The only reason an AI would violate the principle of cooperation (non imposition of costs) is if you design it to do so.
