we discussed the main points of indian philosphy.. and they sound like quantum physics to people ,indian philosphy of altruism ,of considering guest as god etc.. is light years away from darwinism.It requires a saintly mind to understand what givin is,what it means to pray .. to bless someone.. to be blessed.If we are selfish can we bless someone.. or feel blessed..
can we consider the conflict of animals.. of a hawk and a dove.. if both persons in a conflict act as hawks we assume they divide the benefit...well the stronger gets more benefit.... suppose if one of them is greater.. more aggressive than the other then he receives the major share.. other case they both get the same amount..now we consider what is stable evolutionary state ..two person competing doesn't seem stable..
but it is ...
consider kin theory.. that even though we aren't directly related like people having common goals .. we do see people who are truly altruist.. but are they help their kin..it might be the bond of country.. of friendship.
Kin selection is based upon the fact the gene pool of the particular individual is increased.If a person helps his kin to procreate even without directly helping he is doing what we call self altruism.
Self altruistic behaviour increases the gene of particular kind hence showing darwinistic altruism.to be continued
