Strong Reciprocity :
11
Introduction Games Strong Reciprocity ‘Hot Logic’ Conclusion
Strong Reciprocity
willing to sacrifice resources in order to:
- reward fair behavior - punish unfair behavior
even if there is no direct or future reward
12
Introduction Games Strong Reciprocity ‘Hot Logic’ Conclusion
Strong vs Weak Reciprocity
genetic relatedness (kinship) tit-for-tat (direct reciprocity)good reputation (indirect reciprocity) signs of power or wealth (coslty signaling).

other methodology

trust and cooperation signals

Introduction Games Strong Reciprocity ‘Hot Logic’ Conclusion
altruism can be instrumental
"individuals attempt to outcompete each other in terms of generosity. It emerges because altruism enhances the status and reputation of the giver. Status, in turn, yields benefits that would be otherwise unattainable." “
”(Hardy & Van Vugt, 2006)

methodological hedonism
using feelings toanticipate feelings in order tocontrol our behavior toward a maximization of positive feelings and a minimization of negative ones
27
Introduction Games Strong Reciprocity ‘Hot Logic’ Conclusion
Strong Reciprocity: genuinly altruistic + innate drive
Hot Logic: methodogical hedonism
Conclusion
--more like a mystery than an explanation
28
Introduction Games Strong Reciprocity ‘Hot Logic’ Conclusion
This egoism is the instrument of our preservation; it resembles the instrument for the perpetuation of the species; we need it, we cherish it, it gives us pleasure, and we must hide it.“
”- Voltaire, discussing Mandeville’s Fable of the Bees, In Dictionnaire Philosophique
