Only groups in which members fall to this kind of manipulation by their leaders can win against groups in which no one is as "foolish". Thus group selection (i.e. gene pool) will have adaption pressure on having some gene member manipulators and others manipulatees. This, like the programmed emotion apparatus for social conformity, is a natural result of EDSC. There is evidence showing this phenomenon in modern days.

The scenario-building hypothesis by Alexender is still not that convincing. The connection from art appreciation to scenario-building to social skills to social competition is a bit too remote to establish selection pressure. Another possibly more direct link between art appreciation and social competition might be that the appreciation of art is an anchor for developing a common appreciation of abstract things and serves as a foundation for stronger social coherence such as religion which is also about common beliefs of abstract concepts.

Oligarchy doesn't suffer legitimacy issue since it's the manipulators ruling the manipulatees. Oligarchy is the political structure parrell to the gene stratification structure in a society.

... With this insight, we turn to the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and find that, while still far from demonstrating general intelligence, many state-of-the-art deep learning methods have begun to incorporate key aspects of each of the three functional theories. ...

... Given this apparent trend, we use the motivating example of mental time travel in humans to propose ways in which insights from each of the three theories may be combined into a unified model. ...

... Thread… Here’s my basic understanding of the model: the economy has some industries that are capital intensive and others that are not. When the central bank makes interest rates artificially low, it makes capital investment cheap and skews the economy toward capital intensive sectors. ...

... The period through the end of 2007 arguably fits the austrian model. There was arguably over investment in residential home construction. In 2006 and 2007 the home building industry was contracting while other industries were still growing. But in mid 2008, the situation changed. ...

... I can’t figure out how to explain this period with an Austrian model. I don’t see why anyone would consider this kind of mass unemployment necessary or how it set us up for stronger growth later. ...

... Traits like ultra-altruism, large-scale cooperation, longing for belonging to a group, and intergroup aggression are hard to explain through individual gene selection alone. ...

... In comparison, Darwinian group selection (direct gene selection at the group level) has too many contingencies and, thus, is much less probable as the main selection force for these traits. ...
