A TRULY SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION FOR HOW SYNERGY REALLY HAPPENS
40 videos • 26 views • by TRYING BEINGS: From Life's Origins to Total Jerks Most people think of evolution as a crowded survival–of-the-fittest competition. Recent science shows that’s just the half of it. Crowds compete but also cooperate – not out of saintly altruism but codependency ¬– addiction to one another’s help. When it’s easier to get our needs met by others, we lose the ability to do for ourselves. You do your part for your co-dependents because you can’t do without them. It’s not united we stand so much as divided you’d fall. Such naturally-evolving co-dependency explains biology’s many systems of theme-and-variation specializations. Fingers, for example, are differentiated but dependent on each other for their synergistic dexterity. It also explains how economies end up with the butcher, baker candlestick-maker co-dependencies. And naturally-evolving co-dependency explains what holds couples together – each person does their part to keep their other half in the game. If you want to understand how synergies happen – all the ties that bind and how to manage them, that’s what this playlist is about.
