Altruism = Helping Another for What Reason?

    Why: these life forms do not surveive to reproduce

`/ reciprocity or friendly partnerships

    Why: though unrelated, indidviduals receptive to gifts who overcompensate the givers of numerous small gifts will get more gifts in the future.

    I think 3 main factors cause people to be more reciprocitive: being related, being close to the same age, and having the same occupation.

    Less important factors that cause pepole to get along better, or communicate effectively include: same: race, ethnicity, language, sex, money /amount of resources, clothing, religion, and other interests (games, etc.).

- same culture /society give no help in communication.    \

- communication is cheaper gift-sending.            /  comm.

- a selective form of reciprocity is popularity.                \

- popularity is more political than based on personal difference.    /  pop.

`/ kin selection

    Why: survival of gene for altruism persists in successive generations.

urgent, important    Fear = forgetting little things

            Hate = forgetting big things

important        Love = remembering big things

    The opposite of a firing squad is a commissioned inventor.

The opposite of a natural disaster is an (uncompensated) inventor.

The opposite of a war is a repairer.

L right “    , wrong “    = speaks = important, not urgent

H wrong “    , wrong “    = reeks = unimportant, not urgent

Why politicians get less done as years pass:

1. eliminate fear of crime, leaving:

2. love of people, until indifference /boredom, or:

3. hate of position, but not very strongly, so:

4. pity of tiny groups = micromanage society.
