Episode notes

In almost all cases, the perpetrator feels that the victim deserved it. In other it's kind of a capital punishment system where i am the judge, jury and executioner in one fell swoop. I call this constructive conspiracism. Enough conspiracies are true. You know, people really do conspire to gain an illegal or immoral advantage over other people. This happens all the time. Right enough that you should be a little bit paranoid because sometimes they really are out to get you. The whole section on paranoya is a really interesting topic we're dealing with now,. Because for a long time, paranoi is an irrational thing. It goes hand in hand with this idea

Cooperation is the means by which life arose in the first place. It’s how we progressed through scale and complexity, from free-floating strands of genetic material, to nation states. But given what we know about the mechanisms of evolution, cooperation is also something of a puzzle. How does cooperation begin? A biologist by training, Nichola Raihani looks at where and how collaborative behavior emerges throughout the animal kingdom, and what problems it solves. She reveals that the species that exhibit cooperative behavior — teaching, helping, grooming, and self-sacrifice — most similar to our own tend not to be other apes; they are birds, insects, and fish, occupying far more distant branches of the evolutionary tree. By understanding the problems they face, and how they cooperate to solve them, we can glimpse how human cooperation first evolved. And we can also understand what it is about the way we cooperate that has made humans so distinctive and so successful.
