    Lots of comments relate to racism, so I think it's worth discussing that a little.
    Racism in humans is a very complex phenomenon that can't be simply traced to genes. To be honest, I don't think I really understand racism, but I'm confident saying a full understanding would take inputs from biology, psychology, sociology, and history, perhaps more. But as the video explains, the green beard phenomenon is very brittle and rarely shows up in nature, so it's not an explanation, and certainly not a justification for something as complex as racism.
    Thanks for reading, and be kind to each other. :)

      Those who are altruistic still have to compete with those who are not. Altruists are less likely to use preemptive violence, thus always putting themselves in a strictly defensive role. Those who are willing to use preemptive violence always have the advantage in being able to choose their target, and the time and place of their attack.

    I might be interested in seeing this type of scenario except if a blob runs away, it becomes less likely that the other blobs will help it again. I feel like this is the main difference between this scenario and real life. Those who help others are more likely to receive help from others, and someone who has experienced kindness is more likely to show kindness.

So while you're yelling for him to run, he's just laughing that you just sacrificed yourself for him.
      Your idea of slowly drip feeding to see if they reciprocate is good ''in theory'' but the true impostor knows that this your plan all along. You're only breeding the ultimate impostor with your method that will fine tune the blobs behavior into bailing on you 'only' when the critical junction has been reached where he needs to sacrifice you for himself.

      When I act too eager to help and give of myself too freely, I typically lose all respect and consideration from those I help. The relationship will never be on equal footing. Those I help end up resenting me and/or using me as a resource, often getting mad or turning me into the villain if I stray outside the lane I created. all I wanted was friendship or appreciation in return, but instead I create selfish and entitled assholes out of otherwise good people. I have finally learned to wait for someone to ask for help before providing it. I take time to consider, and then provide just a little help to see how they respond. Oh, and never ever, under any circumstance, give money. Seriously.

    Two major factors that make "altruism" work in real life but not a simulation this simple:
    - In reality, the desire to help others predominantly extends only to those that are close to you, namely family. Given family would share this "helpful" gene, it's closer to the first green beard simulation.
    - Not every encounter in real life is a life or death situation. Coupled with the ability to alert others of "traitors", "smart altruism" would overwhelmingly win out over other choices.
    And this is just for animals. With humans, their advanced reasoning capability allows them to rationalize the advantages of altruism even if they would not otherwise be disposed to it.

    @midnighthope6029 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    i think one of the biggest things about human altruism that this video doesn't capture is how we treat people we know vs those we dont know, community vs outsiders. in a case like that, the two dominant genes would likely be narrow altruism (sacrificing for blobs that live within a certain range of itself), and broad altruism (sacrificing for any blobs). on a larger scale, there's also the question of who's seen as community vs outsiders, which is often determined by physical and/or cultural appearance, and is also part of how racism starts (outside of exploitation for gain justified by xenophobia , and a lot of other things. humans have a tendency to be wary of those we see as outsiders, but that doesn't always translate to hatred, and who we even *see* as outsiders can vary a lot as well. so can things like competition, since those who already arent struggling will be less likely to care about an outsider coming along, let alone see them as competition for resources. however, in human society, it's important to distinguish between competition for resources, and who actually *controls* said resources. yes, this tendency towards fearing outsiders can make people more prone to bigotry, but it's almost always groomed into such by people who have something to gain from the have-nots fighting amongst themselves, instead of confronting the ones who have everything. a broke, white redneck from alabama who dropped out of high school has infinitely more in common with an illegal mexican migrant in cali who can barely speak english, than either of them have in common with their local congressmen of the same race.)

    That’s probably why real systems of altruism in species rely more on social reputation than outward appearance.
    There’s a species of bird which socialize and remove parasites from each other. The tacit agreement is one helps rid the parasites from another, then that one turns around a helps the first. Sometimes, a bird takes advantage of this system by leaving once they’ve been helped without helping the other bird. However, when these birds come back they are shunned from the help circle.

The bravest of us had been culled down for generations: in war, as political dissidents, down to a business owner who would stand his ground against local mafia, thieves, etc. Are we becoming soft and useless because of that? Amenable, obedient, in need of someone to save us, to tell us what to do?

    Actually, the answer to this is very well known, "For altruism to work, you MUST punish cheaters!". In fact, a lot of creatures "humans included" have mechanisms for punishing cheaters. The green beard mechanism worked because it punishes those who are not reciprocally altruistic by not granting them altruism. The imposters won in the last situation because there was no mechanism to punish imposters.

    The answer you're looking for, in my opinion, is a social one, not a purely genetic one. Say the various blobs can NOT tell which blobs are imposters by a physical characteristic, but can recognize individuals and can remember when a blob saves someone. Then it's not necessarily about an arbitrary physical manifestation that can be faked, it requires a building of something akin to "trust."
    Blobs are more likely to work with blobs that they trust, and more likely to save them.

    In humans, we don’t see who a “green beard” is at a glance. Many people will only act with self-destructive altruism toward someone who is known and trusted, often needing to build that trust up for years. Additionally, that trust can typically only be earned through helping one another, even if that help is given with selfish intentions. Very rarely will a person fully fit the “imposter” role in which they only receive help but never return any at all, as people around them will figure out that “the beard is fake”
    A more applicable model might be one as mentioned by another comment, in which a blob can gain or lose their green beards based on previous actions

  • @tobago528
    @tobago528 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I had a thought on this video here.
    What if the alturism wasn't passed on as a gene in your simulation but rather an inclination. Some people have an inclining to help others more some people have no inclining at all. However, as people help one another that increases the likelihood of those that were helped of helping others in the community. Maybe, there is even a decay in that inclination back to that individuals base levels.
    I hypothesize that this model would do exceptional well in the scenario where their is a 50% death chance on alturism. Also in stead of their being imposters everyone has different beard colors. The closer to Green it is the more likely they will help out and the farther from green the less likely of course.

  • @junepuls1504
    @junepuls1504 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I think it would make more sense if altruism was spread both through genes and experiences, like being helped in an altruistic way made it likely for you to become altruistic, even if it isn't your "nature", and vice versa.

      That's undoubtedly the 'other model' he's talking about. Blobs can remember each other from repeated interactions, so even though they might not be able to tell each other apart physically they can remember who has helped them in the past and who hasn't

    • @LadySunami
      @LadySunami 3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      I think you might be onto something. It would be interesting to run a simulation where each blob has a different "reputation" requirement for helping another blob. Like, if the other blob has a reputation for helping others, they'll be willing to help it in turn!
      You could start it simple, with three groups of genes: selfish, skeptical, and altruistic. There would also be two types of physical features: regular and green beard. Altruists always help others, and if they survive, they are awarded a green beard! Skeptics only help those with green beards, and if they survive helping, they also get a green beard! Selfish blobs never help anyone.
      I'm guessing this would cause the skeptical ones to eventually take over, and all have green beards as well (basically they'd all be acting as altruists). In some cases if the altruists were lucky enough to survive, they'd end up a smaller but stable population.

    Would be interesting a "socialization" between Beard Blobs. If happen that they help each other, they will search for the other before going out, so after a few days it would born a "beard network". Also, add the impostors in the simulation, but once they showed up for their real nature, they will be "banned" from the "beard network", or, even better, give blobs violent possibility. Being altruistic doesn't mean that you can't kill someone else if this one made something bad to you or to your group.
    If 4 beard blobs find a "known impostor", why shouldn't they kill him or at least scare him and make him run away?
    I think that all the altruism gene theory fall down in the power of the group over the individual. Once you've created a group which will help each other, even with high survival cost, it will always prevail over the "selfish gene".
    Sure, the question is "how this group gene begin?"

    • @TapuC0C
      @TapuC0C ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes. That would be a more realistic simulation. You need creatures that can remember from day to day what happened in the past for altruism to make sense. Pack animals almost always have altruism I have noticed. If you have to cooperate to bring down a kill, you have to share the kill among the members. If one member doesn't share the other members will remember and stiff that member the next time.

    Idea: Perhaps you can add communication between blobs. For example when blob1 is saved by another blob2 he can tell his direct family, that blob2 is nice. In return the (altruistic) direct family of blob1 will always warn blob2 when they spot the predator, because they are more inclined to save blob2 due to his shown kindness towards blob1. This will allow him greater survival chances in the long run.

      the obvious advantage being that the predator dies so no other blobs have to worry bout it, but it could also "inspire a bloodline of warriors" which'd each have higher chance to survive victoriously than the last. It could result in all the predators eventually dying, but it could also result in greenbeards sacrificing themselves for those who can handle on their own, thus resulting in more death. or, possibly, all the braves fuckin suck in the beginning and die immediately

    One factor that could be interesting that is present in real life is altruism being seen as honorable and good by the blobs and more blobs wanting to be altruistic after being saved or seeing blobs save people.

      @@TheCyanSqueegee doesn't really seem difficult to model. Every blob would have a simple numerical value of Reputation, and running away would decrease it by 1 while saving another would raise it by 1. And then other blobs would be more likely to help those with higher reputation.

    • @BrackToran

      The issue with that is the model is designed to represent genes that are passed on from generation to generation, not social constructs. A reputation system would not be passed down genetically from generation to generation.

      I understand it SEEMS interesting and easy to simulate, but in-fact this would be insanely difficult.
      You would actually have to simulate TIMES OF THE DAY, in order to do such a thing. If they survived the day, then they need to be able to discuss the events of the day. Well, whats the algorithm that you'll use for dispersing information? Is it a communal thing? Is it a social thing where they warn only the person in the house with them? Do they all gather in the morning and communicate.
      The way it is done now is to basically disregard all these factors. It takes it and says "All these considered; here's the percentage that would represent that." This is the advantage and disadvantage of simulated experiments. It's awesome because we can ignore pedantic little pieces of information that can easily make what we're trying to learn obfuscated. If we had all those factors considered, the simulation would likely be more accurate, but the insane amount of work and 'pre-work' that would be required to do such a thing is massive.

    This reminded me of Biology class where we learned that some animals (If i remember its animals where parents generate a lot of offspring) are altruistic because the chance that they share similar genes is relatively high. So by saving their brothers and sisters they still pass on part of their genes. At least this is what i sort of remember.

      Walnuts do this. They release a growth inhibitor in the soil to stifle other trees, but if they detect a genetically similar sprout won't release it in proximity to the sprout so their bloodline stands a better chance.

I thought I remembered the altruism being seen in animals that have large amounts of offspring because theres a higher chance theyre related to them if they are in the same area. I could be mistaken, maybe we just looked at an example species and Im remembering things incorrectly. But anyway i think its really interesting.
