"Selfishness beats altruism within groups. Altruistic groups beat selfish groups. All else is commentary."?
In an article about the genetics of altruism in the New Yorker Jonah Lehrer attributes the title quote to biologist E.O. Wilson.
What do you think about the way selfishness and altruism play out in society and in your life? How do you decide when to be selfish and when to be altruistic? How much of the time are you altruistic, do you think?
Do you agree with the quote?
