Cooperating From Within

-- by JLS

From wiki, "evolution of cooperation"

"Robert Trivers had shown that reciprocal altruism is strongly favored by natural selection to lead to complex systems of altruistic behavior (supporting Kroptokin's argument that cooperation is as much a factor of evolution as competition[65])."

So it seems one may have:

-- externalist critiques to apparently 'anti-Gricean' strands of this or that.
E.g. minor details like: a gene can 'misbehave', etc.

-- pro arguments 'from within' as it were, as Trivers above. To consider.
