The Great Simplification with Nate HagensDavid Sloan Wilson: "Chickens, Cooperation and a Pro-social World"On this episode, evolutionary biologist David Sloan Wilson joins Nate to unpack how evolution can be used to explain and understand modern human behavior, particularly with respect to cooperation and pro-social behavior. David is a leading scholar in this field, especially on the resurgence of the concept ‘multi-level selection’. How can an evolutionary idea, first thought of by Darwin and subsequently ignored until recently, shed light on human’s inherent balance between competition and cooperation? And how might our improved knowledge of where we come from inform our behaviors and collective governance in the decades ahead?

Frontiers of Commoning, with David BollierDavid Sloan Wilson: What Evolutionary Science Says about Prosocial GroupsDavid Sloan Wilson is a renowned evolutionary biologist with pathbreaking insights into the role of cooperation in the evolution of life. A professor emeritus at State University of New York, Binghamton, Wilson has investigated how natural selection occurs among groups and even ecosystems, and not only at the level of genes and individuals. In this interview, he explains how prosocial behaviors tend to give groups evolutionary advantages: "Selfishness beats altruism within groups. Altruistic groups beat selfish groups. Everything else is commentary." [ Printable transcript: https://www.bollier.org/transcripts-frontiers-commoning ]2022-11-0146 min

Musing Mind PodcastAn Evolutionary Economic Paradigm, with David Sloan WilsonToday, evolutionary biologist David Sloan Wilson joins the podcast to discuss his recent paper, co-authored with Dennis Snower: "Rethinking the Theoretical Foundation of Economics."
Neoclassical, or orthodox economic theory is based on physics equations that assume the economic system is always trending towards equilibrium. Their paper suggests replacing physics with Darwin's evolutionary science, which sees the economy as a system always undergoing evolution, driven by the triad of variation, selection, and replication.
