note that majority of studies here were conducted on uni students, mostly w.e.i.r.d. & sometimes only econ students.https://twitter.com/bswud/status/651011373158281216 …
@JL_Ricon that is the post i'm referring to. the majority of experimental studies he referenced are of w.e.i.r.d. students.

@hbdchick This is the companion post: http://pseudoerasmus.com/2015/10/03/henrich/ … How is this weird? :3 -
@JL_Ricon oh, no! sorry. i was referring to the "pro-social institutions" post. not this one. (haven't read this one!) (^_^)
-
@hbdchick So I think both can be read as "Yes, most is WEIRD, but from what we know from non-W, we can infer that Pseudo's reasoning holds" -
@JL_Ricon well, i don't know. do we know anything about the long-term mating patterns/family types/evol histories of any of those pops?
-
@hbdchick causing that differences. In general, some microfactors (g,time preference) help explain some macrotrends, and I think he does -
@JL_Ricon quite likely, yes. not convinced that g is everything. also think time preference was selected for in some agri pops quite...
-
@hbdchick not totally caused by g. He doesn't say "This is the Ultimate Explanation for all the Nice ThinGs!" He's more humble than that -
@JL_Ricon cool! (like i said, haven't read that post yet!)
