Updated Chapter 7 of my #EvolutionarySystems and Bio-Inspired Computing course: Modeling Evolutionary Systems. This is the last chapter for this year's course.

"In this paper, we show how principles from the theory of multilevel selection provide a toolkit for modifying incentives to better align individual and collective interests."

I'm no #Hayek expert @danolner but I found the below articles by evolutionary scientist D.S. Wilson insightful:
https://evonomics.com/the-road-to-ideology-how-friedrich-hayek-became-a-monster/
https://evonomics.com/the-libertarian-economist-friedrich/
https://evonomics.com/pirates-economics-self-interest-hayek-wilson/
They suggest not dismissing Hayek entirely in light of recent insights around #MultiLevelSelection. Essentially cooperative groups out-competing uncooperative ones.
Wilson worked with Elinor #Ostrom before her death on generalizing MLS and her "core design principles" of #commoning (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jebo.2012.12.010)
Day 1 of #MicroEvo22 had #plasmids #phages #phageplasmids #microbiomes #genomes #CRISPR #zoonosis #capsules #HGT #antiviralimmunity #fungi #mutators #siderophores #compost #soilmicrobiome #marinemicrobes #heavymetals #adaptiveradiation #T6SS #competition #cooperation #mutualism #multilevelselection 😅
Every single talk was amazing and the poster session was buzzing! — day 2 promises to be equally exciting
