The Hierarchy of Value

Monkeys that look at higher status monkeys more often, and look where higher status monkeys look. It bears directly on the question of how we determine what constitutes value. We can really see, we can see better than any other animal except predatory birds. Human beings have an iris that's marked out by the white of the sclera. So if I'm looking at what you're looking at, for sharing gaze, then we put ourselves in the same psychophysiological position so our emotions line up.
