#getting my head in order so I can write this essay. right#I think I’ve approached the entire thing wrong#it’s about relatedness and whether data supports it playing a key role in the evolution of social interactions#the points should be:#1. in general yeah. lot of data saying yeah. I look at conditional and fixed strategies as two ways to show that it matters in different#contexts. relatedness important because of modulating the benefit to actors#2. however! relatedness not always important. this is not inconsistent with the theory. this is because#there needs to be a reason for a behaviour to evolve. there are two other terms here (benefit and cost).#relatedness still plays a key role in the calculations it’s just not always the deciding factor. sometimes it’s better to kill your siblings#basically you need to consider whether you would expect evolution to respond to relatedness in the first place and sometimes the answer’s no#that doesn’t mean it’s unimportant and I have shown that it IS important in a lot of contexts. two things can be true#I’ve just spent WAY too fucking long on point 1 and I wanna be done now bc this essay!! doesn’t matter!!!! it’s a fucking mock#and I’ve been doing it for a week!!!!!!! bc I couldn’t fuckiny bring myself to do things properly and I am going to explode#it’s fine I will make the second point as nicely and simply as I can and close it and send it off#screaming crying i can finish this today it’s okay I just write until it’s done and don’t look back#luke.txt
