Wonderfulness and nerdy stuff all at once, because of course nerdy stuff is wonderfulness.
But the argument of the authors was that if you look at the evolution of altruism, yes, it doesn't work in these models.
If you as we now we're getting back to do averages exist?
If for example you treat these big models as like a mean field theorem, like
The lifetime average run of the model represents the full dynamics of the model or in the short term.
And what they said is, no, it turns out if you look at species or s I I think they also imply this cultural evolution, that it's highly non-ergotic.
That the local behaviour of populations.
Is not captured in the global behavior of the entire system.
So if you only looked at the averages, altruism can't develop.
Purpose has no purpose.
But if you look at local, yes, defectors come in and undermine all these collaborators.
They undermine the altruists and the purpose-driven people.
But over the long history of
Enough local populations where everyone by chance
is altruistic or purpose driven or something that they then collaboratively outperform and you get a positive sum local system.
which then gets large enough that it can outperform the competitors.
And then you say this
Obviously this is a sort of like a one theoretical component model, just this non ergadosity component, but this can explain why it is that phenomena like this exist in the world.
Because we are messy and unique.
And that messiness
