Aldi's $299 reformer Pilates machine has made headlines for its price, but is it worth it? 🤔

Fans say it's great for the price, but some note it lacks the quality of pricier machines. While it's good for basic moves, transitions can be slow. Perfect for beginners, but serious users may want to upgrade.

My paper with Wes Maciejewski on the Evolution of Extraordinary Self-Sacrifice is now featured in a special collection of articles on moral judgment and decision-making, so I thought it was a good time to share it here.

The evolution of extraordinary self-sacrifice - Scientific Reports

From a theoretical perspective, individuals are expected to sacrifice their welfare only when the benefits outweigh the costs. In nature, however, the costs of altruism and spite can be extreme, as in cases of irreversible sterility and self-destructive weaponry. Here we show that “extraordinary” self-sacrifice—in which actors pay costs that exceed the benefits they give or the costs they impose on recipients—can evolve in structured populations, where social actions bring secondary benefits to neighboring kin. When given information about dispersal, sedentary actors evolve extraordinary altruism towards dispersing kin. Likewise, when given information about dispersal and kinship, sedentary actors evolve extraordinary spite towards sedentary nonkin. Our results can thus be summed up by a simple rule: extraordinary self-sacrifice evolves when the actor’s neighbors are close kin and the recipient’s neighbors are not.

I worked through just one of the models, the Brothers Karamazov Game. In this model, the two brothers agree to #coordinate their actions to help their brother Dmitri.

The analysis of the game is included in the appendix, so I decided to try using a different mathematical approach to the one Jones used. The method can handle #nonadditive #fitness effects in group games with discrete strategies, i.e., the kind of situation that can't be handled by #InclusiveFitness
