Are Superorganisms Real Entities? (Ep.64)

Justus Frank: Life Of Learning

This is Part 3 of my reflections based on the book "The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion" by Jonathan Haidt.

In his book, Jonathan makes a strong case for the groupish nature of humans and for group selection. That we are not just selfish beings but that in essence, we are a part of superorganisms that drive us to selflessness and our moral natures.

In this episode, I just wanted to stop and clarify a bit more what is meant by calling a superorganism an entity and the benefits and dangers that happen when we use language that personifies superorganisms to being in the same category as individual humans.
