What people are saying
The collective reactions emphasize the significance of defining terms like cooperation and altruism carefully, with comments about how misusing these terms can cause confusion. Phrases such as 'misuse or redefinition' and references to the necessary clarity reflect concern about terminology, aligning with the article’s focus on semantic issues and their implications for understanding social behaviors.
Most discussions acknowledge the importance of clear terminology, especially regarding cooperation and altruism, aligning with the article’s focus on semantic clarity.
Participants show some curiosity about the topics, but the discussions are relatively surface-level without deep analysis.
Once initial points are made, there’s limited elaboration or debate, indicating moderate engagement.
The discussions highlight a recognition of the importance of precise language in scientific discourse, though their influence on broader understanding appears modest.
Abstract in brief
- The text discusses various social behaviors like altruism, cooperation, and mutualism from an evolutionary perspective, highlighting how these behaviors have consequences for both individuals and others, and emphasizing the complexities in defining and understanding them across disciplines.
- It addresses issues of semantic confusion where different scientists might use the same term differently or different terms for the same concept, especially in interdisciplinary research, which can hinder progress in understanding social behaviors.
- The authors stress the importance of distinguishing between the proximate mechanisms (how behaviors occur) and the ultimate survival value (why behaviors evolved), using examples mainly from humans and microbes to illustrate these points.]

@rkurzban @JonHaidt Sure. I define cooperation as traits/behaviours that realise some *mutual* benefit in a nonzerosum game. So, 'mutualism' (as opposed to 'egoism' or 'altruism'). That's also how West defines it. Your definition seems to refer to 'altruism'. https://t.co/1qe7L1N8BS https://t.co/3HNZax1hQr
