From the School of Computer Science and Department of Psychology at McGill University, I marvel at the world through algorithmic lenses. My specific interests are in quantum computing, evolutionary game theory, modern evolutionary synthesis, and theoretical cognitive science. Previously I was at the Institute for Quantum Computing and Department of Combinatorics & Optimization at the University of Waterloo and a visitor to the Centre for Quantum Technologies at the National University of Singapore.

Are ape communities more “anarchist” or “communist” in structure? I think your definitions of 'anarchism' and 'communism' do not reflect the actual political ideas at all. I think you were looking for the terms "selfish" and "cooperative" or "altruistic". |

Does becoming martyr have an evolutionary advantage? I think you incorrectly describe 'indirect reciprocity'. Indirect reciprocity just means that there is some sort of reputation-like effect that allows you to receive reciprocity not directly from the person you cooperated with but from others who see your good reputation (which you maintain by cooperating). The classic paper on this is Nowak & Sigmund (1998). For a general intro, I mention this and other mechanisms for cooperation in a TEDx talk & blog post |
