That relationship and affection you feel for your brother is an evolutionary survival strategy to protect those closely related to you.

[seanotube85]

I wouldn't save my brother because I share his genes. I'd save him because I've known him my whole life and I can see the value in his life. If I found out my brother was adopted I'd still save his life over a stranger's.

I must admit that I absolutely loved the Global Brain.. The Lucifer Principle was one of the greatest books i've ever read.

@AryanKnight Your whole argument is an introspect of inherited bias developed by Hitler to scheme and paint the Jews as a scapegoat to the Germans. Or maybe it's just incoherent, ignorant, moronic racism... who knows?

[AryanKnight]

@DonLeon505  ---You're apparently introspecting again...!

[DonLeon505]

You sad, sad, moronic human being.

~Hummmm, --does the world really need another jewZionist 'know it all' athiest; --this guy is totally imbued with voodoojoo-science, and the fatally subversive notion that jew-Communism/Capitalism has something of value to offer the world! However, looking at the sinister truth lurking behind their cloak of deception, --one invariable finds the primitive-minded self-serving Jew robber-baron masters of usury, -plotting yet another warmongering scheme by which to abuse their gullible hosts...!!!

@seanotube85 Howard is pointing out why kin selection has some wholes in it, as does individual selection. If your statement is meant to argue this video, then you might give it another listen.

[Thunderharald]

@seanotube85 good point

[seanotube85]

@Thunderharald No, it's not about a better chance of survival. Imagine if you had a little brother who was weak and disabled. Are you saying you wouldn't care if he lived or died because he couldn't protect your chances of survival? Enough of that Ayn Randian bullshit. Nobody thinks like that except for sociopaths.

[Thunderharald]

@seanotube85 Yes, but that is because you see the invested value in is life. you realize that he would do the same for you so if you have him around you will have a better chance of survival.
