"[T]he French squad who have been doing some of the smartest and most ambitious evolutionary social science of the past decade. Their ecological approach to culture is brilliant... Their views on sexual morals, on the other hand, are weirdly strained..." chartyarps.substack.com/p/what-are-the…

@robsica I do feel sad to see my beloved French squad fall short on this topic. If they have a weakness, imo, it’s an overemphasis on cooperative game theory relative to other kinds of game theory (e.g., coordination, alliances, zero-sum competition).

@DavidPinsof @robsica thorough study zero-sum competition game theory is necessary as to whatever norms and conventions we can build around it. I guess people find it dispiriting and immoral to study.
