@Samfr @JeremyCliffe I liked the Monopoly analogy in the R4 piece. Having one of the set a lot less useful than having the whole lot together.

@Samfr @JeremyCliffe ...which in turn explains the contributory welfare system. Retraining takes more time/money so need more cover for loss of earnings.

.@thetimes '...suggesting that what people find particularly aversive is profiting personally from harm to others.'

[Duncan O'Leary @DuncanOleary]

.@thetimes '[But this] hyperaltruism was not apparent when participants could donate their profits to a charity'

[Duncan O'Leary @DuncanOleary]

.@thetimes 'people were...willing to sacrifice more money to prevent pain to a stranger than themselves.'

[Duncan O'Leary @DuncanOleary]

.@thetimes 'In lab experiments we invited participants to gain money by inflicting painful electric shocks to either themselves or a stranger'

[Duncan O'Leary @DuncanOleary]

This study, reported in @thetimes today, is fascinating

@martinboon how are 3. and 4. compatible?
