“There are really good sociobiological reasons for why we evolved to cooperate. It really is good for all of us.”
2010s, Penn Jillette Rapes All the Women He Wants To (2012)
Context: There are really good sociobiological reasons for why we evolved to cooperate. It really is good for all of us. You can be a hard ass and just run common sense, you know, what is the most effective way for people to interact and you do better if you treat people well, you just do. And on top of that the whole world does better if you treat people well. It works out on any level.
