Rivalry (or competition) from where it starts in the brain all the way through civilization. A combination of neuroscience, cultural evolution, Rene Girard, religious and legal theory, criticism of certain Silicon Valley people, and ending with a bunch of constructive advice.

inb4: yes, there's *some* solid evopsych and behavioral econ (unlike race science, which is all bullshit), but when your field contains such amount of academic malfeasance, the only rational response is to demand standards *higher than other fields* to findings in the rotten field.

I've seen the sexual seers thing before, but never that this was a natural role determined by evolution. Good reminder that nobody is immune from evopsych.

In the paper we ask: given limited resources, how much should we be allocating to replication vs original research? We use an agent based model of cultural evolution to reveal the ideal allocation of resources under a variety of scientific environments and conditions.

The first paper from my postdoc with Felix Schönbrodt is now available as a preprint! 🎊 If you've seen me present a cultural evolution model about how much replication we should be doing, and you wanted to know more, this is your opportunity: doi.org/10.31222/osf...

i think (and as the author acknowledges) it's also a function of technological capabilities and resulting cultural evolution in professional sports. it's a pity that technology gets to dictate where things go, à la Goodhart's law.

*This* sort of thing is the reason liberal arts (or humanities or whatever you want to call it) classes need to be a part of any STEM degree. This is clearly a man with zero knowledge of the historical method or the processes of cultural evolution, influence and exchange, and is grossly proud of it.

Evopsych is quatch. Proto-wetenschap at best, maar vooral een hoop sciëntisme en just so stories waar de manosphere van smult. Waar de verklaring van verschillen ligt? Goh, in een heuse combinatie van factoren, zowel biologisch als sociaal, die niet altijd gemakkelijk uit mekaar te trekken zijn.

Cultural evolution, or devolution? Something came over elevator music yesterday. It was Bob Dylan. That's Orwellian appropriation.

Why do some goals spread across people and generations, while others emerge only transiently? We argue that human goals are both drivers and products of cultural evolution: our individual pursuits are shaped by our cultural environments, and the goals we pursue in turn reshape those environments.

Thank you for writing this! I immediately put it up on our department noticeboard in the hallway. 🙂
A cork department noticeboard covered with research papers, posters and photos. At the top are signs for the Department of Philosophy and History of Science and the Biology of Exposed Surfaces research group; in the upper right is a group photo of SPEK, a separate research group focused on cultural evolution. The board also includes papers on animal coloration and morphology, a Biochromatics course poster, a Mat-Bio course poster, and a student recruitment poster. In the lower left corner, a printed article by Susana Monsó discusses the importance of philosophy for science.

Earth Systems asked that I make a flyer for my Fall class. My flyers are always lame, so I asked my TA if she could help make something that will actually activate student interest. I think she really outdid herself.
Flyer for a class. Black background with lurid green/white font the gives a Tron vibe. The center of the flyer contains a tweet by Elon Musk from 2022 that reads "Population collapse due to low birth rates is a much bigger risk to civilization than global warming"

The text below the tweet reads "Take this class to unpack this provocative claim and so much more!"

In white text, there is a course description that reads "Climate change is an urgent threat to human systems, and solving it means finding new energy sources, mobilizing populations to adapt, and mitigating further harm - all of which depend on collective and individual decisions made through social and political institutions. This course takes a broadly interdisciplinary approach to sustainability, covering social ecology, human population, adaptation, trust, collective action, cultural evolution, time preferences, and slow violence.

More lurid text reads "Satisfies the 'human dimensions of sustainability' requirement in Earth Systems."

To be clear: I already read the 3 books in the back (‘Not Born Yesterday’ by Hugo Mercier, ‘Cultural evolution in the digital age’ and ‘Technopanic’ by Alberto Acerbi). “The other side” here meaning the side of Jon Roozenbeek and Sander van der Linden. I’m definitely not a conspiracy theorist 😅

Or that if you actually want to jack off with evopsych, any time anyone actually tried to do actual science on the topic it has always resulted in them sheepishly admitting that human cooperation and selflessness is our strength in societies, and greed is the aberration

a status quo apologist breaking out the evopsych to explain why his inferiors getting uppity is a biological process that must be suppressed how unprecedented
