Joseph Henrich Puns

This book seems to bring together Tammler's interest in the disappearing deep kinship honor cultures in the West and Dave's interest in evolutionary/cultural psychology. WEIRD stands for : Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic. "Henrich reveals that the most fundamental institutions of kinship and marriage changed dramatically under pressure from the Roman Catholic Church. It was these changes that gave rise to the WEIRD psychology that would coevolve with impersonal markets, occupational specialization, and free competition--laying the foundation for the modern world." I'll read it if VBW discusses it, and maybe even if they don't.

I thought it was pretty great: speculative in places but those theories were fascinating.

The Secret of Our Success: How Culture Is Driving Human Evolution, Domesticating Our Species, and Making Us Smarter http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25761655-the-secret-of-our-success

So I'm in kind of a weird situation, I have a masters degree in maths and I work as a software developer, but I've also always been interested in philosophy. I've recently been reading a lot of books, one of which is The Secret of our Success by Joseph Henrich which is about evolutionary anthropology and dual inheritance theory. I also read a book called Natural Justice by Ken Binmore, which explains how human morality could have evolved as a set of cultural practices from reciprocal altruism, and justifies the process through game theory. It reminded me of an earlier book called The Evolution of Co-operation by Robert Axelrod which shows how co-operation can evolve in the iterated prisoners' dilemma by running computer tournaments.

I want to do a PhD in which I use computer simulations to back up this thesis of the development of morality (e.g. setting up a pool of self-interested neural networks time and examining how moral rules evolve between them, evolving them using a genetic algorithm such as NEAT), and also applying my findings to moral and political philosophy.

Does this sound like worthwhile research? (or am I just yet another case of a software developer with Dunning-Kruger syndrome?). If it is, could anyone recommend schools to apply to or further books to read? I imagine it would be difficult to find a supervisor since the ideas lie at the intersection of so many different fields.

Thanks in advance for your advice :)

Happy birthday to Joe Page, who was the 1940s version of Mariano Rivera when he was on the field... and Derek Jeter when he wasn't!

Joseph Francis Page was born October 28, 1917. The son of a coal miner in Western Pennsylvania, Page developed strong arms working in the mines himself. As a teenager, Page was in a serious car accident that nearly cost him his left leg; hospitalized for five months, it never fully recovered, getting him a 4-F from the draft board during World War II. But it served him well enough on the mound to be the league's best closer... at least for a little while.

In Dynasty: The New York Yankees, 1949-1964, author Peter Golenbock paints a vivid portrait of Page:

> In his day Joe Page was Henry Fielding's Tom Jones in a baseball uniform, a tall, handsome celebrity with jet-black hair and a toothpaste smile, a rounder who enjoyed being noticed in public, who enjoyed the company of the street and the tavern, a night owl who greeted the sunrise through bloodshot eyes after a lusty night's play. For two years of his career Joe Page was also the best pitcher in the American League, a left-handed relief specialist who would leisurely, almost insolently, saunter to the mound from the right-field bullpen, his jacket casually slung over his shoulder partially covering the number 11 on the back of his pinstriped uniform. When he got there he would take the ball from the manager and nonchalantly fire a half-dozen warm-up pitches of medium velocity. Then after the batter would step into the batter's box, Page would survey the runners on base, sneer defiantly at the batter, and then streak exploding, rising fast balls past the usually overmatched batter.

Early in his career, Page relied on that blistering rising fastball and a hard, diving forkball, but as age, injuries, and poor conditioning slowed him down, he occasionally mixed in a spitball, as he admitted after retirement. As to his pitching strategy, that was simple: “Give ’em the good stuff right down the middle.”

Page played in amateur and semi-pro leagues in his early 20s, eventually attracting the attention of the Yankees, who signed him to a minor-league contract at age 22. Page, a big lefty, threw hard but was wild -- in 1943, he struck out 140 batters in 186 innings, but al

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Do your worst!

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

While first introduced as a "wrinkle," Chinander's nickel package quickly became a staple of last year's defense, particularly when facing spread offenses. Yet, somehow, it's gone unnamed. It needs one... something catchy. Personally, I like the alliteration of Nebraska Nickel, so I'll stick with that**^([1])**. Tangent aside, the look seems to be pretty popular with the defensive coaching staff, which makes it all the more surprising that I haven't seen much discussion over the change.

For those unfamiliar, the look is a 2-5-4 package where the DEs shift inside to play DT while two OLBs play near/on the line, similar to DEs in a more traditional 4-3 defense (here's a visual). When forming the package, Chinander took a lot of influence from Alabama's Rabbits schemes, which have a very similar 2-4-5 look. While Alabama uses a fifth DB called a "STAR," NU's nickel player is a coverage-oriented OLB (aka JoJo Domann**^([2])**). In short, it's whole purpose is to try and counter the ever-increasingly-popular spread offenses who keep +3 receivers on the field at all times. Basically, it's a 4-3 defense for 3-4 teams.

With all that taken into account, I think it's important to talk about the NU Nickel. The 2020 defense started 5 of 8 games in their nickel package, and I wouldn't be shocked to see that number increases in 2021; Illinois may be a wild card, but I'd bet money that we use it in the first drive against Fordham and Buffalo. What's more, in the previously linked Big 10 highlights video (here it is again), the nickel package makes up a vast majority of the tape. In all, while I'm not saying the Huskers will be dropping the 3-4 any time soon, as long as Chinander is commanding the D, the Nebraska Nickel will likely be a big part of the team's future. As such, let's consider the 11 positions in the NU Nickel, and which players might be thrown into its rotation this year and down the line. Since all but one of the starters have returned to the program, I don't think many of the 1st rotation guys will be too much of a shock, but as always, the battles brewing lower on the depth chart make for some interesting converstation.
