Who is attracted to policing jobs? | Brian Klaas

“Many contemporary #socialscience approaches ignore the #coevolutionary framework, instead focusing too much on linear regressions. Our world is better understood through #complex #reciprocal #interactions.” (More from the #BrianKlaas piece on #coevolution) open.substack.com/pub/briankla...

"Good Heavens what insect can suck it?"

The stranger-than-fiction miracles of coevolution in nature and human society. (Or: what connects avocados, ants who farm fungus, karma, and our relationship with dogs?)

Individualism is a mirage.
Connection defines us.

This book is good.
