A Beautiful Mind

If you read the history of this man carefully, or even if you don't, you'll see some very interesting and intricate mathematical adaptations of game theory that show that certain categories of altruistic practices benefit not only the group, but also the individual, improving chances for both individual and group success. Some forms of "altruism" seem to be built (evolved) into our bones.

Hey, even take the holocaust. Some individuals sheltered persons at great risk and no obvious benefit to themselves. Were they wrong to do this? No.
