Podcast appearances and mentions of Nicholas A Christakis

Episode #115: Today's "Quick Friendship Tip" is about how to capture the attitude and spirit of that special "freshman energy" apparent on any college campus in the first three weeks of school when making new friends as an adult.There is something real happening in that freshman year, specifically the first three weeks, that is magical for friend making. I saw it while dropping off my son for his freshmen year of college in August, and I remember it from my own freshmen year.  I'm grateful to former guest, Gretchen Rubin, (who also recently dropped off a child for freshmen year) for sharing a 2015 NYT article in her newsletter by Nicholas A Christakis called "Making Friends in New Places." Christakis described in more detail what exactly is happening in those first three weeks. I did not imagine it just a few months ago during the initial college move in days. While adult life cannot replicate those three weeks in exactly the same way, I have some ideas about how we can take what's essential about that vulnerable time and use it to our advantage as adults when we're in periods of having to make new friends or just wanting to get out of a friend rut. Send us a text* All transcripts are available on the main Buzzsprout "Dear Nina" site.

“When we look around the world, we see endless and timeless fear, ignorance, hatred, and violence. From our position, we could also boundlessly catalogue the minute details of human groups, highlighting and emphasizing the differences among them. But this pessimistic gaze that separates humans from one another by highlighting evil and by emphasizing difference misses an important underlying unity and overlooks our common humanity. Humans everywhere are also pre-wired to make a particular kind of society — one full of love, friendship, cooperation, and learning.
Humans have always had both competitive and cooperative impulses, both violent and beneficent tendencies. Like the two strands of the double helix of our DNA, these conflicting impulses are intertwined. We are primed for conflict and hatred but also for love, friendship, and cooperation. If anything, modern societies are just a patina of civilization on top of this evolutionary blueprint.
The good things we see around us are part of what makes us human in the first place. We should be humble in the face of temptations to engineer society in opposition to our instincts. Fortunately, we do not need to exercise any such authority in order to have a good life. The arc of our evolutionary history is long. But it bends toward goodness.”Excerpted from BLUEPRINT: The Evolutionary Origins of a Good SocietyCopyright © 2020 by Nicholas A.

“We're not attempting to invent super smart AI to replace human cognition. We are inventing dumb AI to supplement human interaction. Are there simple forms of artificial intelligence, simple programming of bots, such that when they are added to groups of humans – because those humans are smart or otherwise positively inclined - that help the humans to help themselves? Can we get groups of people to work better together, for instance, to confront climate change, or to reduce racism online, or to foster innovation within firms?Can we have simple forms of AI that are added into our midst that make us work better together? And the work we're doing in that part of my lab shows that abundantly that's the case. And we published a stream of papers showing that we can do that.” Nicholas Christakis, MD, PhD, MPH, is a social scientist and physician who conducts research in the areas of biosocial science, network science and behavioral genetics.

Well, there's one aspect that relates to some of the work that my lab does on human social interactions, which is the main focus of what my lab does. We look at the mathematical, biological, psychological, and social underpinnings and consequences of human social interactions...As the size of the population grows, the combinatorial complexity, the network complexity rises superlinearly. So a city that's 10 times the size has a hundred times as many social possible social connections. And it's the social connections between people that lead to the creation of new ideas, people mixing and bumping into each other with different occupations and different business ideas, and different ways of life. So one of the ideas about cities is that they are these creative places and, as they get bigger and bigger, they get more and more creative. That's just one thought that connects networks to cities in the 21st century”Nicholas Christakis humannaturelab.net/people/nicholas-christakisHuman Nature Lab: humannaturelab.netYale Institute for Network Science yins.yale.edusociology.yale.edu/people/nicholas-christakisBlueprint: The Evolutionary Origins of a Good Society Apollo's Arrow: The Profound and Enduring Impact of Coronavirus on the Way We LiveTRELLIS - Suite of software tools for developing, administering, and collecting survey and social network data: trellis.yale.edu.The Atlantic: “How AI Will Rewire Us: For better and for worse, robots will alter humans' capacity for altruism, love, and friendship”www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/04/robots-human-relationships/583204/www.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.org

In 1864, two ships' crews were cast away at the same time on the same remote island in the Southern Ocean. But the two groups would undergo strikingly different experiences. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the story of the Auckland Islands castaways and reflect on its implications for the wider world. We'll also consider some fateful illnesses and puzzle over a street fighter's clothing. Intro: Lewis Carroll proposed fanciful logic problems. In 1946, a kangaroo made off with William Thompson's money.

A piercing and scientifically grounded look at the emergence of the coronavirus pandemic and how it will change the way we live—"excellent and timely." (The New Yorker) Apollo's Arrow offers a riveting account of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic as it swept through American society in 2020, and of how the recovery will unfold in the coming years. Drawing on momentous (yet dimly remembered) historical epidemics, contemporary analyses, and cutting-edge research from a range of scientific disciplines, bestselling author, physician, sociologist, and public health expert Nicholas A. Christakis explores what it means to live in a time of plague—an experience that is paradoxically uncommon to the vast majority of humans who are alive, yet deeply fundamental to our species. Unleashing new divisions in our society as well as opportunities for cooperation, this 21st-century pandemic has upended our lives in ways that will test, but not vanquish, our already frayed collective culture. Featuring new, provocative arguments and vivid examples ranging across medicine, history, sociology, epidemiology, data science, and genetics, Apollo's Arrow envisions what happens when the great force of a deadly germ meets the enduring reality of our evolved social nature --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/support

หนังสือ Blueprint: The Evolutionary Origins of a Good Society ของ Nicholas A. Christakis - การหลอมรวมของสังคมขึ้นมานั้น มีหลายส่วนประกอบเป็นปัจจัย ซึ่งการวิวัฒนาการของมนุษย์มีมาเนิ่นนานแล้ว - การเรียนรู้จากอดีต สามารถทำนายอนาคตได้เช่นกันว่า จะเป็นไปในรูปแบบใด โดยส่วนมากแล้วมนุษย์มีโอกาสแก่งแย่งกันมากกว่าเดิม - กระนั้น มนุษย์ก็ยังไม่หยุดที่จะรวมตัวกัน ไม่ว่าจะเป็นการต่อยอดสายสัมพันธ์ หรือแม้กระทั่งการเรียนรู้ที่ต้องถูกส่งต่อไปรุ่นสู่รุ่น เพื่อให้การดำรงเผ่าพันธุ์นั้นยังคงอยู่ - ส่วนประกอบหลักที่สังคมนั้นยังรักษารูปแบบได้อยู่ ก็เพราะมนุษย์ยังเป็นสัตว์สังคมเหมือนเดิม ไม่มีการเปลี่ยนแปลงไปเลย นั่นหมายความว่ามนุษย์มีพัฒนาการด้านสังคมน้อยมาก - ทั้งนี้ อนาคตอยู่ที่มนุษย์ทุกคน ไม่ใช่คนใดคนหนึ่ง ถึงแม้ระดับปัจเจกชนจะสำคัญ แต่สิ่งที่สำคัญสุดคือการวางรูปแบบให้ปรองดองกันไว้เป็นหลัก เพื่อการอยู่ร่วมกันอย่างสันติ

Social media is an undeniable presence in everyone's lives nowadays; some kind of virtual connection touches even those who don't post every moment in their daily routines. And social media is not only omnipresent, but it also has a bad reputation for how it negatively influences kids, oppressed minorities, or people going through hard times in particular. Nevertheless, not everything is lost; we still have a lot of control over how we use technology and whether we decide to use social media for our own benefit or not. In this episode, we will focus on the benefits of using social media. We will list and explore five aspects that can be very beneficial not only for us but also for the community through the proper use of virtual connections. I invite you to discover how social media can strengthen relationships with friends and relatives, help us acquire better habits, assist introverts, reduce stigmas over diseases, leverage the students' experiences, and more. Tune in to Episode 95 of Technology for Mindfulness to view social media from a different perspective and perhaps give it a second chance. In This Episode, You Will Learn:Smartphones and advanced communication technology are not bad inherently; we choose what to do with them (1:25)Social media used as a means to connect with people we don't see very often or to seek support during challenging times (3:42) Social media and the creation of healthy and productive habits (6:07)How introverts can reduce their social anxiety in social media (10:18)Public figures showing up as mere humans and helping diminish the stigma over certain conditions, sexual orientation, and traumas (12:19)How students can use social media to make their learning process smooth and most effective (16:27)Resources:Pew Research Center - Demographics of Key Social Networking Platforms Pew Research Center - Teens' Social Media Habits and ExperiencesBook: Nicholas A.

“We have the misfortune that the virus struck us at a particular moment in our history. We have the highest levels of income inequality in a century, we have extreme levels of political polarization, and we have a number of macro trends that have thinned out our intellectual discourse that have made it very difficult for us to have a reasoned conversation about what we should do as a nation to confront this threat.” Physician and sociologist Nicholas Christakis is here. On the docket? Variants, viruses, epidemics, pandemics, and the toll— medical, physical, social, and emotional— that COVID-19 is taking on the country and the world. What could we have done better? What happened in Wuhan, China at the outset of this pandemic? Who were the early unsung heroes who sounded the alarm? Nicholas Christakis, recently out with his new book Apollo’s Arrow: The Profound and Enduring Impact of Coronavirus on the Way We Live, is here to help us understand where we are in this pandemic, but also to offer historical context and perspective using previous plagues as his starting point. How much the human way of life has changed over the millennia pales in comparison to how much hasn’t when it comes to our ability to cope with, and our reactions, to a worldwide plague.

We believe that providing a platform for individual expression, free thought, and a diverse array of views is more important now than ever. For more information on the show, visit talkingbeats.com Nicholas A. Christakis, MD, PhD, MPH, is a sociologist and physician who conducts research in the areas of social networks and biosocial science. He directs the Human Nature Lab. His current research is mainly focused on two topics: (1) the social, mathematical, and biological rules governing how social networks form (“connection”), and (2) the social and biological implications of how they operate to influence thoughts, feelings, and behaviors (“contagion”). His lab uses both observational and experimental methods to study these phenomena, exploiting techniques from sociology, computer science, biosocial science, demography, statistics, behavior genetics, evolutionary biology, epidemiology, and other fields. To the extent that diverse phenomena can spread within networks in intelligible ways, there are important policy implications since such spread can be exploited to improve the health or other desirable properties of groups (such as cooperation or innovation). Hence, current work in the lab involves conducting field experiments: some work involves the use of large-scale, online network experiments; other work involves large-scale randomized controlled trials in the developing world where networks are painstakingly mapped. Finally, some work in the lab examines the biological determinants and consequences of social interactions and related phenomena, with a particular emphasis on the genetic origins and evolutionary implications of social networks. The author of several books and over 150 articles, Christakis was elected to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences in 2006 and was made a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2010.

Boken formidler kunnskap om mennesket, og Wegard siterer ”folk er ålreite dyr. Det må få betydning for hvordan vi bygger samfunnet vårt.” Bygger vi samfunn basert på tillit og solidaritet, så får vi mennesker som handler deretter. Boken er også politisk i form av at politikk handler mye om menneskesyn. — Dette er også en veldig politisk bok, fordi politikk handler mye om menneskesyn, sier han.

In this week's episode of The Adelaide Show, we invite you to an audience with an epidemiologist during the Covid-19 pandemic, and we're doing this so you can be armed with more understanding of the complexity of this field and why our health authorities make decisions we often don't understand. Dr Jacqueline Stephens, Research Fellow and Epidemiologist at Flinders University, is our special guest and we were also joined by former host, Nigel Dobson, cognitive scientist. In the Musical Pilgrimage, we have a perfect song by Fergus Maximus, which is most fitting during this time of Covid-19 restrictions. To kick things off, in the SA Drink Of The Week, we return to Rojomoma for a hearty, Barossan red. You can navigate episodes using chapter markers in your podcast app. Not a fan of wine? You can click next to jump to the next chapter in the show. We're here to serve! And please consider becoming part of our podcast by joining our Inner Circle. It's an email list. Join it and you might get an email on a Sunday or Monday seeking questicon ideas, guest ideas and requests for other bits of feedback about YOUR podcast, The Adelaide Show. Email us directly and we'll add you to the list: podcast@theadelaideshow.com.au If you enjoy the show, please leave us a 5-star review in iTunes or other podcast sites, or buy some great merch from our Red Bubble store - The Adelaide Show Shop. We'd greatly appreciate it. And please talk about us and share our episodes on social media, it really helps build our community. Oh, and here's our index of all episode in one concise page Running Sheet: An audience with an epidemiologist during the Covid-19 pandemic 00:00:00 Intro Introduction to the show. 00:02:13 SA Drink Of The Week The SA Drink Of The Week is a Red Art Shiraz from Rojomoma in the Barossa Valley. We taste it with winemaker, Sam Kurtz. 00:10:34 Dr Jaqueline Stephens, an epidemiologist I've been saddened by the growing volume (both noise level and number of voices) of people who are citing anti-science and consipiracy-theory views about our government's approach to dealing with Covid-19. And it is not so much the content - although that's misleading enough, eg, I already have my Covid vaccine it's called Vitamin D - but there is a snide and toxic tone to the commentary. At a time when we all need to be working together for the common good, these voices of dissent are dangerous. As our contribution to helping inform public debate, I am joined by fellow podcast host and cognitive scientist, Nigel Dobson, and Dr Jacqueline Stephens, Research Fellow and Epidemiologist at Flinders University. Thank you both for braving a heatwave day to join me. I'd like to start by getting some reactions to a little grab bag of thoughts and comments, then settle into some definitions, and then dive more deeply into the complexities of your field, Jacqueline, as an epidemiologist. Grab bag one: Heat wave - I've heard someone say that we're lucky Covid struggles in heat and thrives in the cold, unlike some other threats. True? Grab bag two: Serving food today. I had to find separate dishes for our allocation of olives. Grab bag three: I'd like to insert a reading here from The Plague by Albert Camus (read by Luke, on the episode of Blind Insights entitled, The Plagues of 2020). In that passage, Camus writes that the plague never dies or disappears for good; it can lie dormant for years and years in furniture and linen-chests, etc. Is this generally true? Grab bag four: Former guest, Dr Bill Griggs just shared a thought about vaccinations - sure to be a hot topic again. The right to choose not to vaccinate is like the right to chose not to drive on the correct side of the road. Both are expressions of individual freedom. Both may cost you your life. And both may result in death or injury to others. - Quick comment? Jacqueline, can you give us an overview of your field because Susan Payne writes: Infectious disease epidemiology (which includes the epidemiology of viruses) is the study of the complex relationships among hosts and infectious agents. Epidemiologists are interested in virus spread or transmission, with or without disease. Viral epidemiologists try to predict the potential for development of epidemics, and a very important part of their job is to define the kinds of interventions that could contain a virus outbreak. Veterinarians are often concerned with threats to food animals (how a disease of food animals might be spread, or be introduced into a disease-free area). The keywords being complex relationships, hosts and infectious agents, predictions, and interventions. Nigel references this book: The Hot Zone. Steve references this podcast episode, Anatomy of a Pandemic, from the This Pathological Life podcast. How much relative effort goes into epidemiology in chronic illness (heart disease, diabetes etc) , acute illnesses (annual diseases such as flu, chicken pox) and acute pandemics (e.g. COVID)? How often are the various studies and data collections done? (So weekly flu vs. annual heart, cancer studies?) What level is this done at, National , or State? Is it done by the government,private industry of Academia? How does epidemiology influence the funding,policy and work effort in dealing with various health issues? What sort of criteria is used for what we track and what we don't? As more people start tracking their health, steps, heart rate, oxygen levels etc., what sort of impacts will this have on epidemiology? What have been some of the negative impacts of not having any good epidemiological data in certain medical issues? What are the major challenges in the industry? Too much data, changing health priorities, changing government policy, peoples apathy about their health ? etc. On this note, in a recent Sam Harris podcast, Pandemic of Incompetence, Nicholas A. Christakis, MD, PhD, MPH, the Sterling Professor of Social and Natural Science at Yale University, stated: that Trump was advised of the upcoming pandemic in December last year. Now, Trump's not the best example of a proper leader, but if he was briefed surely other leaders were. What blocks government's taking a science-based, timely response to findings of epidemilogists? How has the field changed over the past 30 years with the increased access to computing systems and technology? Given that many actions taken in response to epidemics seem to be counter intuitive to the uninformed, has our access to social media - we all have megaphones - made public health interventions harder? For example, I heard someone loudly complaining (and being supported) that why should a miner in Coober Pedy have to go into lockdown for our recent hard lockdown, when the activity was in Adelaide? When people are self reporting on health issues , how do you get them to give honest answers and not the answer they think the epidemiologists / researchers would want to hear? If people or their kids  are interested in working in this area what sort of education would they want to get? Has there been a public health upside to our new behaviours? 01:59:47 Musical Pilgrimage In the musical pilgrimage, we have a song, Closer To You by Fergus Maximus. This song is taken from a live EP called, One Gaslit Night, recorded at The Gaslight Tavern in Adelaide during August 2015.Fergus sings and plays sax on the EP, accompanied by Kym Perry played guitars (both acoustic and electric) and stompbox, and Jamie Harrison played basses (both electric and acoustic).This song captures the spirit of those living in quarantine - they are much closer to their family than they possibly ever wanted, while still being distant.

Apollo’s Arrow offers a riveting account of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic as it swept through American society in 2020, and of how the recovery will unfold in the coming years. Drawing on momentous (yet dimly remembered) historical epidemics, contemporary analyses, and cutting-edge research from a range of scientific disciplines, bestselling author, physician, sociologist, and public health expert Nicholas A. Christakis explores what it means to live in a time of plague — an experience that is paradoxically uncommon to the vast majority of humans who are alive, yet deeply fundamental to our species. Featuring new, provocative arguments and vivid examples ranging across medicine, history, sociology, epidemiology, data science, and genetics, Apollo’s Arrow envisions what happens when the great force of a deadly germ meets the enduring reality of our evolved social nature. Shermer and Christakis discuss: the replication crisis in social science and medicine, determining causality in science and medicine, how we know smoking causes cancer and HIV causes AIDS, but vaccines do not cause autism and cell phones do not cause cancer, randomized controlled trials and why they can’t be done to answer many medical questions, natural experiments and the comparative method of testing hypotheses (e.g., comparing different countries differing responses to Covid-19), the hindsight bias and the curse of knowledge in judging responses to pandemics after the fact, looking back to January 2020, what should we have done?, comparing Covid-19 to the Black Death, the Spanish Flu, and other pandemics, bacteria vs. viruses, coronaviruses and their effects, and why viruses are so much harder to treat than bacteria, Bill Gates’ TED talk warning in 2015 and why we didn’t heed it, treatments: hydroxychloroquine, remdesivir, Vitamin D. How civilization will change: medical: coronavirus is here to stay — herd immunity naturally and through vaccines, personal and public health: handshakes, hugs, and other human contact; masks, social distancing, hygiene, long run healthier society (e.g., body temperatures have decreased from 98.6 to 97.9), economics and business, travel, conferences, meetings, marriage, dating, sex, and home life, entertainment, vacations, bars, and restaurants, education and schools, politics and society (and a better understanding of freedom and why it is restricted), from pandemic to endemic. Nicholas A. Christakis is a physician and sociologist who explores the ancient origins and modern implications of human nature. He directs the Human Nature Lab at Yale University, where he is the Sterling Professor of Social and Natural Science, in the Departments of Sociology, Medicine, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Statistics and Data Science, and Biomedical Engineering.

Moralen utmärker människan och har sin grund i evolutionära processer. Farshid Jalalvand, skribent och forskare i molekylär mikrobiologi, reflekterar över varifrån vi fått vår godhet. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Samhället kunde inte ha gått framåt utan det moraliska sinnet, lika lite som en bikupa kunde ha bildats utan binas instinkter, klottrade en 29-åring Charles Darwin i sin dagbok 1838. Vilken målande beskrivning! Människor behöver moral för att kunna leva ihop på samma sätt som insekter behöver instinkter för att verka i sina samhällen. Men om moralen uppkommer instinktivt eller är inlärd har varit ämne för debatt sedan åtminstone medeltiden. Vissa menar att moralen är en del av vår kultur, andra att den kommer från Gud och vissa att den är en konsekvens av det ekonomiska systemet. Men kanske är det helt enkelt brist på mat som ligger bakom framväxten av människans moral. När jag ser tillbaka på vår arts historia slås jag ofta av samma tanke. Människan framstår som en komapatient som vaknat upp med total minnesförlust. Hon vet inte vem hon är eller var hon kommer ifrån. Hon stiger upp och inspekterar sina förmågor. Och hon tänker: Wow, jag måste vara någon sorts Gud!. Det metaforiska uppvaknandet var det som brukar kallas den kognitiva revolutionen, det vill säga när den förhistoriska människan utvecklade en kraftig förmåga till abstrakt tänkande. Och ända sedan skriftkonstens uppkomst har vi kunnat följa vår patients besatthet vid att distansera sig från biologin. Aristoteles, till exempel, sa under antiken att människans rationalitet höjde henne över djuren. Under medeltiden påstod den inflytelserika kristna filosofen Thomas av Aquino att människans odödliga själ separerade henne från djur. Och under renässansen förklarade René Descartes att människan, till skillnad från djur, bestod av två skilda substanser ett rationellt sinne och en biologisk kropp. Alla dessa teorier ställdes på sitt huvud av Darwins och Alfred Russel Wallaces evolutionsteori på 1800-talet. Och vår patient fick i och med det för första gången möjlighet att placera sig själv rätt i historien. Hon var en apa förvisso en rationell apa men ändå en apa, i en lång led av andra apor. Upplysningsfilosofen Immanuel Kant påstod att det som utmärkte denna apa var moralen, medan David Hume tyckte att det var hennes förmåga att känna sympati. Ny forskning visar att Darwin, Kant och Hume alla hade rätt om människans natur. Evolutionsprocesser består, enkelt sagt, av två steg. Naturen skapar variation, och miljön avgör vilken variant som överlever och fortplantar sig. Dessa processer har också skapat vår arts instinktiva moraliska sinne, enligt till exempel utvecklingspsykologen Michael Tomasello. Förhistoriska människor existerar inte längre och är därmed svåra att studera. Men det finns många utförliga beteendestudier på vår nära biologiska släkting schimpansen och mänskliga barn i åldrarna 6 till 36 månader. Forskare anser att dessa barn är så små att de främst agerar enligt medfödda instinkter. Och de har funnit tydliga bevis på att barn, till skillnad från schimpanser, har utbredd medkänsla och aversion mot individer som utför våld. Barn hjälper andra på bekostnad av sig själva. Barn har ett sinne för vad som är rättvist och orättvist. Barn kan motstå sina mest själviska impulser. Grunderna för det vi vanligtvis menar med moralisk beteende tycks alltså vara medfödda. Men frågan är varför och hur de uppkom. Forskare tror att de människolika apor som var våra förfäder ursprungligen levde i dominansstyrda hierarkiska grupper, i likhet med de samhällen schimpanser och gorillor skapar. Men för ca 2 miljoner år sen förändrades klimatförhållandena i Afrika. De frukter som utgjorde våra förfäders basföda försvann. Med all sannolikhet dukade de allra flesta i arten under. Det enda sättet att överleva tycks ha varit att i grupp jaga större byten, eller att stjäla byten från stora rovdjur som lejon. Detta kunde endast göras om flera individer samarbetade effektivt. Tomasello lägger fram det han kallar theory of interdependence teorin om ömsesidig beroende som säger att våra förfäder, till skillnad från schimpanserna, blev absolut beroende av varandra för att få mat. Och de som kunde samarbeta bäst överlevde. Alla djur föds med instinktiva beteenden som antagligen drivs av känslor. En av de starkaste biologiska impulserna är att känna sympati för sin avkomma. Men det har alltid funnits naturliga variationer i förmågan hos olika individer. För vissa apmänniskor verkar det som att sympatin slagit slint och börjat rikta sig brett mot andras barn, mot vuxna, mot artfränder. Dessa individer klarade sig bättre i den nya ekologiska verkligheten. Att kunna bilda emotionella band till de man var beroende av för att få mat medförde nämligen att man hjälpte varandra under tider av nöd. Detta ledde till större framgång för gruppen och därför större chans att överleva för individen. De som kände mer sympati kunde alltså få fler barn. Medkänsla är grunden för moralen, skrev filosofen Arthur Schopenhauer och de flesta evolutionspsykologer instämmer en större förmåga till sympati har varit avgörande för moralens framväxt. Men det behövdes fler inslag för att bygga ut det moraliska ramverket. En annan psykologisk förmåga som är bra för samarbete är förmågan att kunna sätta sig i någon annans situation empati. De hungrande människoaporna var ju beroende av att väljas som jaktpartner av andra annars svalt de ihjäl. Man kan tänka sig att de som själviskt roffade åt sig jaktbytet inte blev frågade att följa med nästa gång. De som kunde känna igen när andra och de själva betedde sig orättvist och kunde lägga band på sina mest extrema själviska impulser blev valda som partners, fick mat och fick barn. Det lönade sig evolutionärt att ha ett samvete. När människoaporna efter en tid ökade i antal splittrades de i mindre grupper. De började konkurrera stam mot stam, om mat och utrymme. Antagligen var det nu olika kulturer växte fram tillsammans med det som beteendevetare kallar ingrupp- och utgruppmentalitet vi och dom, med andra ord. Det moraliska beteende som tjänat arten under evolutionen reserverades nu i hög grad för den egna gruppen. Vi har avhumaniserat varandra ungefär lika länge som vi har älskat varandra. Alla dessa beteenden och instinkter som visat sig vara evolutionärt fördelaktiga har stannat kvar hos oss onekligen med lite variation mellan individer. De stöts och blöts mot kulturella och sociala koder och de förutsättningar en individ har att förhålla sig till. Men det är rätt talande att vi än idag härleder de flesta av våra moraliska normer till sympati och rättvisa. Biologin förknippas ibland med något som är lite smutsigt, djuriskt och rått. Men det är också till den vi måste vända oss om vi vill förstå våra mest civiliserade och ädla handlingar. Farshid Jalalvand, skribent och forskare i molekylär mikrobiologi Litteratur Nicholas A.

What is human nature? It’s a question that’s intrigued philosophers for as long as there’s been philosophy. It’s also where quite a lot of political philosophy begins, imagining how our nature would have us live in a world before government.How and why do humans cooperate? Why do we interact with people at all? Is there an issue with freedom of assembly? What kind of society is good for us to live together successfully?

In this exceptionally important conversation Dr. Shermer discusses at length the background to and research of Dr. Nicholas Christakis, a physician and evolutionary sociologist famous for his study of social networks in humans and other animals. Drawing on advances in social science, evolutionary biology, genetics, neuroscience, and network science, Blueprint shows how and why evolution has placed us on a humane path—and how we are united by our common humanity. For too long, scientists have focused on the dark side of our biological heritage: our capacity for aggression, cruelty, prejudice, and self-interest. But natural selection has given us a suite of beneficial social features, including our capacity for love, friendship, cooperation, and learning. Beneath all our inventions—our tools, farms, machines, cities, nations—we carry with us innate proclivities to make a good society. In Blueprint, Nicholas A. Christakis introduces the compelling idea that our genes affect not only our bodies and behaviors, but also the ways in which we make societies, ones that are surprisingly similar worldwide. With many vivid examples—including diverse historical and contemporary cultures, communities formed in the wake of shipwrecks, commune dwellers seeking utopia, online groups thrown together by design or involving artificially intelligent bots, and even the tender and complex social arrangements of elephants and dolphins that so resemble our own—Christakis shows that, despite a human history replete with violence, we cannot escape our social blueprint for goodness. Shermer and Christakis also discuss: his background and how he got into studying social networks and society why evolutionary psychology is an equal opportunity offender (Right: biological creationism; Left: cognitive creationism) the 8-character suite of human nature that goes into building a good society Unintentional Communities like shipwrecks Intentional Communities like communes Artificial Communities like Seasteading love and why it matters for a good society, and not just a good life friends and social networks genes and culture co-evolution boo words like positivism, reductionism, essentialism, determinism and why we need not fear them Hume’s Wall: is-ought naturalistic fallacy engineering new social worlds and governing mars. Nicholas A. Christakis is a physician and sociologist who explores the ancient origins and modern implications of human nature. He directs the Human Nature Lab at Yale University, where he is the Sterling Professor of Social and Natural Science, in the Departments of Sociology, Medicine, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Statistics and Data Science, and Biomedical Engineering. He is the Co-Director of the Yale Institute for Network Science and the co-author of Connected: The Surprising Power of Our Social Networks and How They Shape Our Lives.

Luft A tweet by Yale sociologist Nicholas Christakis, who argues that it takes a 60 hour work week to succeed in sociology. It drew criticism and evoked a discussion about work-life balance in sociology: I tell my graduate students and post-docs that if they're working 60 hours per week, they're working less than the full professors, and less than their peers. https://t.co/mapWtvmBWp — Nicholas A.

The men consider it undignified to do such manual labor, spending most of their time in the army, or in carrying out family feuds. The severe life of the women is shown in premature old age.

He has worked with countless brands and companies to support their efforts in consumer engagement, customer acquisition, and product development, by applying the latest behavioral research ranging from neuroscience and psychology to economics and biology. Within the behavioral realm Jon has two areas of expertise: The study of Influence: What causes people to make the decisions they make. This understanding spawned the creation of “Influencers”, a private community and dining experience for tastemakers and industry leaders. Members range across all industries from well-known actors and Olympians, to executives at major companies and royalty. Influencers has received a fair share of media including stories in The New York Times, Forbes, Fast Company, The Observer, to name a few. Combining years of experience running Influencers and research, Jon has developed a deep understanding in designing social experiences and creating influencer programs for brands. The study of Adventure: Identifying what causes people to live fun, exciting, and remarkable lives. After years of studying what has become known as “The Science of Adventure”, Jon was able to discern that every adventurous experience follows a predictable four stage processes. Each stage has specific characteristics that, when applied, make the experience exciting. This expertise has garnered Jon a reputation as one of the foremost authorities on Adventure. In his free time, Jon works on outrageous projects. He spent a year traveling weekends to the world’s greatest events (Grand Prix, Art Basel, Sundance, Burning Man, Running of the Bulls, Cannes, etc.) and barely survived to tell the tale. Prior to that, taking control of his health and wellness, he was a before-and-after fitness model for a 90-day video training program. Other projects have included unscripted television, mobile apps, books and alcohol development, to name a few.    

Nicholas A. Christakis, MD, PhD, MPH, is a social scientist and physician who thinks outside the box when it comes to modern medicine. He also has dire warnings and a scathing critique as well as information to arm patients. He looks at race, gender, and income as factors in illness, and even questions what we mean by 'disease'. Dr. Christakis teaches an amazing course at Yale called "Death and Dying in the USA". He was elected to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences in 2006, and was made a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2010. In 2009, Christakis was named by Time magazine to their annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. In 2009 and in 2010, he was listed by Foreign Policy magazine in their annual list of Top 100 Global Thinkers. Dr. Christakis joins us to tell us what he means when he says, "The main determinant of whether you live or die has nothing to do with medical care." We talk about his moving personal path to becoming a doctor, what led him to social networks, why most Americans die deaths worthy of the third world, and why he is in the minority in his views of what modern medicine can do.
