Nice Guys Finish First (3/5) - Richard Dawkins
Loading...
Uploaded by dawkinschannel on Dec 20, 2008
Third(of five) part of the 1986 documentary from the BBC Horizon series. In this video Richard Dawkins explains how natural selection can favour co-operation in nature, so long as it is of benefit to the selfish gene.
His search for stable co-operate strategies, which remain unaffected by cheating and exploitation involves an extraordinary game known as the Prisoners' Dilemma, normally used by psychologists to study human behaviour.
In their attempts to earn real money, players must wrestle with a dilemma - whether to follow their natural instincts of co-operation or the dictates of reason and behave selfishly.

Were you sleeping while watching? Selfish behavior is beneficial for self in the short term, but cooperative behavior is beneficial for the whole society and let it dominate overtime, and outperform selfish societies per capita.
