"The magazine’s politics were what passes for center-left in the United States. […] The operating orthodoxy was that police killings, CIA coups, black site torture, and institutional misogyny were aberrations, deviations from the American norm that would eventually be corrected when the arc of the moral universe, long as it is, finally got around to them."

Why rejoice in the misfortune of others

One way to feel my social status improving is if someone else lowers theirs. And so, when I see someone mess up in ways that cause them to lose face, and thus lose social status, I can feel a burst of satisfaction as my own status is raised, at no cost to me.

How do you show your social value in a way that’s instantly recognizable?

"The meaning ascribed to race in the nightclub setting was related to perceptions of safety. The bouncers (many of whom are Black or Latino) claimed that letting Black or Latino Americans in might jeopardize safety at the club. However, Rivera says she saw fights between white customers frequently."

"The subculture lifecycle is a problem only from a geek perspective. As far as mops [members of the public] are concerned, it provides reliable, low-cost waves of novelty entertainment and casual social relationships. As far as sociopaths are concerned, it generates easily-exploited pools of prestige, sex, power, and money."

Puzzlingly, some #animal groups decrease in size when #resources become scarce, while other #groups get larger. Kao et al. identified 6 unique benefits of #sociality and show how shifts in #groupSize under #scarcity depend
on which is the dominant benefit for that #species.

i'm a biologist specialising in #evolution #ecology and #behaviour, and will be starting my #phd at the university of #aberdeen this autumn, studying the evolution of #sociality in #subsocial animals, specifically #dubia #cockroaches

Hello people :-)
I am a French data engineer.
Here i will initiate conversations from texts about #security #MastodonForks #governance #data protection #dataPrivacy #GDPR #discoverability #psychology #sociality #archives #library #retrieval

Hi everyone!

I am a Senior Lecturer in #SilwoodPark at #ImperialCollegeLondon. I am interested how social behaviours (#MateChoice, SexualSelection, #sociality) and #LifeHistory traits (#ageing, reproductive traits) evolve in birds. I've also published on #WomenInScience. I use #quantitativegenetics to better understand how #phenotypes are governed by #genetic architecture.

I have too many #pets, I like #hiking, #birding, #moths, and #fungi.

Will follow you back - toot!

We are recruiting for new field assistants for our parakeet work!
