Great essay again - thank you! Modern science has validated Hamilton’s thinking. Anthropologist Harvey Whitehouse: Human nature is tribal, conformist, and in the pursuit of belonging associated with a higher purpose. Sociobiologist E.O. Wilson: Groups with a sense of shared purpose that is rooted in altruism do better in the long run than groups associated with selfish behavior. Happy Holidays!
