I feel comfortable enough with the "genetic" evolution pressures toward "altruism" within a kinship group, but am still fascinated by the "less obvious" variations. Even/for example, the way many of us have a huge empathy/sympathy for "all living things" and perhaps even fewer for things like "the biosphere as a whole". ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com |

Hi Nick, I just got this, 8 hours after you sent it. No wonder I'm confused. Thanks for your thoughts. Let's together hope that prosocial behavior is part of our evolutionary path. If our brains can't get there in time, we are indeed doomed. On Wed, Jul 22, 2015 at 2:41 PM, Nick Thompson <[hidden email]> wrote:

Eric--there HAS been a great advance in economic theory. Have you read Piketty? And it's because this dorky guy knows how to make magic with metadata, not because his primitive male brain is more altruistic. And outlier economist Richard Smith has just published his dynamite book on the end of capitalism as a theory cum ideology. On Wed, Jul 22, 2015 at 4:37 PM, David Eric Smith <[hidden email]> wrote:

Yes, obviously get out of the EuroZone, but why, Owen, not the EU as well? On Wed, Jul 22, 2015 at 4:47 PM, Owen Densmore <[hidden email]> wrote:

Omigod! That's already happening. You really did say, "coopete", didn't you? On Wed, Jul 22, 2015 at 11:35 PM, glen <[hidden email]> wrote:

Thank you Merle,
I like Piketty, and I like that book, as well as commentary he has given on responses to debt in European history and with respect to Greece today. I probably use the word theory in a way that is different than you intend here, but that's fine. How I would use a word is neither important nor interesting enough to be worth consuming public bandwidth over. All best, Eric On Jul 23, 2015, at 2:39 PM, Merle Lefkoff wrote:
