Geoffrey Miller Quotes

Existing Political Philosophies All Developed Before Evolutionary Game Theory, So They Do Not Take Equilibrium Selection Into Account. Socialism Pretends That Individuals Are Not Selfish Sexual Competitors, So It Ignores Equilibria Altogether. Conservatism Pretends That There Is Only One Possible Equilibrium - A Nostalgic Version Of The Status Quo - That Society Could Play. Libertarianism Ignores The Possibility Of Equilibrium Selection At The Level Of Rational Social Discourse, And Assumes That Decentralized Market Dynamics Will Magically Lead To Equilibria That Yield The Highest Aggregate Social Benefits. Far From Being A Scientific Front For A Particular Set Of Political Views, Modern Evolutionary Psychology Makes Most Standard Views Look Simplistic And Unimaginitive.
