“Explains that humans have evolved to work together and be social.”
“Excited to get the book of @NAChristakis as I am trying to go deeper into the notion of fractal (multiscale) localism & see what's wrong w/my thesis: It isn't individuals vs societies but fractal gradations, each w/specific dynamics, (contra the selfish gene philosophastering) pic.twitter.com/gbTxHrOKpu”
“Dives into twin studies research showing just how much our genetics shape our destinies—everything from relationship stability to personality traits to whether we're naturally early risers. All our traits have a huge heritable element to them which makes for a fascinating consideration in a meritocratic society where you are what you achieve. Profound and insightful.”
