The Price of Kindness: George Price and Altruism
Manage episode 327348855 series 3110058
Being a completely selfless person sounds like a wonderful thing, until you end up homeless sleeping on the street because you gave away all your possessions. Delusions of Jesus and the pursuit of scientific greatness drove George Price to a tragic fate. But along the way he developed one of the most profound (and poorly understood) equations in evolutionary biology. Join us as we talk about the implications of altruism, how suave vampire bats are and why only true friends will puke blood in your mouth.
