A subpopulation of sociopaths is GTO for social organisms, but a subpopulation of autists might be GTO for a social culture @DoTheWeirdStuff
@sarahdoingthing @DoTheWeirdStuff So some analogy to cooperator/defector equilibria in iterated prisoner's dilemma?

@St_Rev@DoTheWeirdStuff Some kind of iterated game theory but not necessarily along cooperate/defect lines, yes totally. -
@sarahdoingthing@DoTheWeirdStuff ...bacteria lost genes for DNA repair because a higher mutation rate was selected for. -
@St_Rev@DoTheWeirdStuff YES - oh man this fits into what we were talking about so well (Westermarck & wife trading as prerequisites) -
@sarahdoingthing@DoTheWeirdStuff Trying to think of a good phrasing: gaussian-blurring the genome is selected for at species level. -
@St_Rev@DoTheWeirdStuff I know what gaussian blurring is but I'm going to need more explanation here -
@sarahdoingthing ...converge over time to a single optimal code. But that only applies if the environment is 100% predictable. -
@St_Rev we were just talking about variability - why do you think predictability determines this? (cool insight) -
@sarahdoingthing ...to arise in the fast-mutating pop. OTOH if the organism is already well-adapted, the 2% tax dominates. - 5 more replies
