We’re Heading into a Jobless Future, No Matter What the Government Does

41. That's a good and yet troubling read freshwest, but regarding the selfish gene

Bill Hamilton was a solitary man, and he saw everything through the lens of Darwin's theory of evolution. When he wanted to know why some ants and humans gave up their life for others, he went to Waterloo station and stared at humans for hours, and looked for patterns. In 1963 he realised that most of the behaviours of humans was due to genes, and looking at the humans from the genes' point of view. Humans were machines that were only important for carrying genes, and that it made sense for a gene to sacrifice a human if it meant that another copy of the gene elsewhere would prosper.

logic dictates the largest possible pool of genes would more likely insure survival of the human species across all lines of race and species.

So I believe there is something more to self-sacrifice than saving another gene copy.

Peace to you.
