Okay the paper underlying this is meh. Just a sort of anecdotal survey and a case for why the idea of elite panic ought to be studied. Doesn’t actually offer much beyond suggestive anecdotes. And neither helps nor hurt the Katz case beyond supplying a term. Ht @thezhanlypic.twitter.com/3TdOdIxVP5
Alternative - some % of the population believe people are untrustworthy and so aim to earn enough money to not have to trust them directly. The ones that don’t succeed at getting rich then have a better chance at survival if they cooperate/act altruistically.
I get the first part, that’s just adverse selection of non-altruists into wealth... but the ones that don’t get rich... why would they turn altruistic? They’re more likely to free ride in natural altruists. Wolves don’t turn into sheep just because they fail at wolfing.
Close but not quite. P(coordinate) = 1 - P(no alturist); P(coordinate|coach) = 1 - 0.99^100 = 0.74 ; P(coordinate|first) = 1 - 0.99^10 = 0.0956
Ah doh, shoulda paused to actually do the math
That style of thinking goes back to monarchies – consider the kind of character it took to take a throne, and the kind of temperaments created in the children of that sort of royalty.
