RE: Why has antisocial behavior evaded the scythe of natural selection?

in #science6 years ago

its a basic for survival, where you can have no guilt for anti-social behaviour you live in the jungle if every one is normal how do you stand out to get a mate, thats the sex angle survival means that you will do anything to cheat lie steal to feed while others follow the norm.

Sort:  

But that only works if enough people can be counted on to follow the norm. If too many people are following the deviant strategy, then the level of mistrust rises, and it's not a successful strategy any more.

Reminds me of Jon Snow in the last Game of Thrones:

I'm not going to swear an oath I can't uphold. When enough people make false promises, words stop meaning anything. Then there are no more answers, only better and better lies.
