HE'S ALWAYS ONE STEP AHEAD LADS

Not always I was taken aback in surprise by your post then.

To be fair we have had this discussion a few times and we are still clinging to the same set of steps while anything I present in evidence he simply widens his goalposts in definition of 'self interest'. I'm trying to get beyond that point.

Once again proving that you do not understand the ideas you are claiming to be clinically disecting.

You apparently still are unable to grasp that mutualism and self-interest are not mutually exclusive.

It's like the prisoner's dilemma didn't even exist.

The comments are good.

If this is significant in a big way I won't be surprised if the evolution fundamentalists are attacking it shortly. If they do I'd guess they'll either be lecturing to the masses that the paper doesn't mean what we think it means, or they'll just attack the research methods and declare it not good enough. They might be right on one of those points as well, but because they do it almost every single time when their dogma is challenged in areas like these, it becomes a farce. So if they ever do have a point people aren't going to give much of a shit. They bring it on themselves.

It's not evolution it relates to its get another blow to the self interest drives it claim which is not the theory of natural selection or related to anything darwen said.

It actually fundamentally contradicts Darwin, the Dawkins theory I mean.

 

Could be related to similar arguments Kropotkin had against some theories as well I think. Will have to look at it more later to see, and from what I can tell from the comments the journo or whoever added the title might have also sensationalised it with the turning a key theory on its head part. Still looks interesting though, will probably have more of a read later.
