B1. MrCropper, is this a video you recorded years ago, like in 2007? I notice that in this video, you mention your first name & you're wearing the vertical-striped shirt you often wore in your earliest Cropperb videos. Also, in this video you speak in? the soft-spoken tone of your early Cropperb videos (you're much louder & a bit bossier-sounding in your later MrCropper videos). ;-)

A10. MrCropper, what are your thoughts on Michael Shermer's evolutionary-psychology argument about altruism existing in primates & early hominids??
By: legendre007. on 03 May 12, 14:02:29
A9.? I think that as the earliest hominids became more & more sapient, & used the rational faculty more, that "changed gears" for human evolution. Even though altruism, mysticism, physical force, & "kin selection" were still very strong influences in the Stone Age, the development of the rational faculty also enabled humans to become more individualistic & it became possible for people to psychologically reject altruistic tribal dogmas & to think of new ways of doing things.
By: legendre007. on 03 May 12, 13:59:17
A8. I make some concessions to the evolutionary? psychologists that maybe altruism might exist among lots of mammalian species, like chimpanzees. But I think that as the human rational faculty evolved, the rational faculty made Homo sapiens sapiens more individualistic & more independent. After all, when you think, you do so in the privacy of your own mind; thinking is something you do all by yourself. (Even when 2 people brainstorm with each other, there's no telepathy.)

A7. Hence, dolphin Bob dies, but members of his family (who? don't have genomes identical to Bob's, but who have genomes that have similarities to Bob's, due to family relations) still survive. Hence, even though Bob dies, his germline (in somewhat modified form) lives on.
By: legendre007. on 03 May 12, 13:55:09
A6. Michael Shermer & other evolutionary psychologists say that when you look at mammals that live in groups, you find examples of self-sacrificial behavior (though not all members of the group are equally self-sacrificial). For instance, maybe a shark chases a pod of dolphins. All members of the pod are genetically related. A single dolphin, Bob, may swim toward the shark while the rest of the pod? swims away. As the shark eats the single dolphin, the rest of the pod gets away.

A5. Hence, even though Bob sacrificed himself as an individual, his sacrifice in war helped carry on his germline/"selfish gene" by benefiting the other members of Bob's tribe (many of whom are genetically related to Bob). Of course, that doesn't work if *all* members of the same tribe are enthused? about sacrificing themselves before having had children.
By: legendre007. on 03 May 12, 13:49:41
A4. The idea is that Tribe 1 (Bob's tribe) & Tribe 2 will go to war against each other for resources. If there's a recessive gene that emotionally predisposes someone to believe it's good to sacrifice himself for the tribe (there? was no distinction between family & "community" back then), then, even if Bob is willing to die in battle for his community, his altruistic sacrifice might increase the chances that his tribe, Tribe 1, will win in war & thereby lay claim to the resources.
By: legendre007. on 03 May 12, 13:46:07
A3. Citing Dawkins's selfish gene theory & W.D. Hamilton's kin selection theory, they say that an individual's genes emotionally predispose him toward self-preservation only insofar as that self-preservation can secure that individual's genetic legacy for the next 2 generations. Moreover, they say that there can be recessive genes that emotionally predispose an individual (say, Bob) to? risk his life for his tribe/village cuz other members of his tribe/village carry the same germline as Bob.

A2. To some degree, some (not all) evolutionary psychologists (like Matt Ridley) admit that Say's Law of Markets & the Industrial Revolution prove that? industrial civilization won't necessarily be destroyed by Malthusian resource depletion. However, these evolutionary psychologists agree that in the Stone Age, before the Industrial Revolution & even the advent of agriculture, the Stone Age tribes were subject to Malthusian resource depletion. The tribes violently warred over resources.

A1. MrCropper, what do you think of the evolutionary-psychology explanation for altruism given by Michael Shermer, E.O. Wilson, W.D. Hamilton, in the context of kin selection? 1st, they say that in natural selection in Stone Age humans, the competition wasn't individual against individual, but family against family. Most members of a clan or tribe were genetically related, as the "family" unit back then was the tribe wherein someone lived close to? his aunts, uncles, & cousins.

Pathological altruism is another good book?
By: MultiFortunatus. on 03 May 12, 11:16:00
The irony is that Altruism is not? a truism at all.
By: Neueregel. on 03 May 12, 10:13:29
Exactly. Preaching is not? altruism but blind propaganda to suit a? cult's pathological need for followers. Missionary men practice this, all the time.
By: bma051000. on 03 May 12, 06:15:39
If Ayn Rand's philosophy, Objectivism ever takes hold as the dominant intellectual trend, it will be the wooden stake through? the heart of altruism.
By: AlexanderEBott. on 03 May 12, 05:14:17
Great recap? of world history. Altruism is the default, and will only exist because of that and its sapping of the more productive, individualistic societies. We can win against Islam, barring our rejection of multiculturalism and our rejection of altruism.
By: EclecticSceptic. on 03 May 12, 04:59:14
Right ... so what you do is you take something that's bad because of colonialism or religion, then you point out that it has a tenuous connection to altruism or, if it came to choosing? whether the events are better described by 'altruism' or 'not altruism', they would be a little bit better described as altruism. Then you try some sort of guilt by association manoeuvre.

The Christianization of Aztec Mexico, is? an example of altruistic colonization. The missionaries sought to stop the pagans from continuing their rituals and civilize them, by becoming Christians, all it achieved, was by coercion.
By: EclecticSceptic. on 03 May 12, 04:44:35
What the hell does that have to do with altruism? So altruism now? means 'mismanaging a situation, the 'white man's burden', and colonialism?
By: TehAlexJonesChannel. on 03 May 12, 03:47:13
Yes Mr.Cropper, Altruism is destructive,it is a form of "humanism", which is actually "anti-humanistic", for instance, trying to civilize Rwanda, eventually led to the Tutsi and Hutu tribes, using the guns and other weaponry that the Europeans brought to Rwanda, during it's colonial history. In 1994, the bloodbath of tribal warfare in Rwanda, featured a chaotic new variable, semi-automatic machine guns, in the hands of religious, and tribal warriors,? who wanted to kill off, each others tribe.
