Some thinkers believe that war with other groups actually bonded if you are at war with another group. I strongly believe there is no human alive to day that can survive as an individual apart from their inherited cultural knowledge. There's a handful of individuals who perhaps survive, but i doubt it without cultural artifax like clothing,. maybe in some benign population. Ah, as evidenced as what's going on in ukraine and russia, is one one of many examples.
On this episode we meet with ecological economist and Professor in Community Development & Applied Economics and Public Administration, Josh Farley.
Farley explores the importance of human cooperation in a modern superstructure that incentivizes competition. What role will cooperation play in helping us solve our largest existential problems?
Farley explains the critical social dilemma humans face: How can we grapple with the paradox that individuals are better served to act selfishly, but cooperation among individuals makes everyone better off?
Additionally, Professor Farley helps us distinguish the difference between how a system works, and how we can understand and participate in changing a system.
