In lieu of finishing any of my myriad stalled attempts to give Glen's
thoughtful discussion of Metaphor and the various threads it spawned:
“Selfish individuals beat altruistic individuals, but altruistic
groups beat selfish groups.” - EO Wilson
begs another question being fermented (fomented?) here about whole/part
conflation.
Wilson, D.S. (1997). /Altruism and organism: Disentangling the
themes of multilevel selection theory./
I am chagrined to admit that I'm not nearly familiar enough with DS
Wislon (no relation) and his work relevant to this question. I was
surprised how prolific he continues to
be:https://davidsloanwilson.world/academic-publications-all/
and most notably his specific work on a ProSocial World
<https://davidsloanwilson.world/prosocial/> (Glossy Version
<https://www.prosocial.world/>) in this moment where there is a very
significant distribution of strategies across the
individual<-->collective spectrum. DaveW might appreciate the
reference more than others: Alone<-->All One?
I am also chagrined to have glossed over Guerin's *many* reference to
Ostrom's Core Design Principles
<https://earthbound.report/2018/01/15/elinor-ostroms-8-rules-for-managing-the-commons/>
(for managing the commons) without digging in. DS Sloan seems to build
on top of her work to some degree?
