since when are cooperation and selfishness mutually exclusive? it would be not-selfish if
they gave more in the public game without expecting to get anything in return for it later...
but in the tests without the indirect game, they did not give as much in the public game,
because there was no return. how is that not selfish?

cheshire morgan. we all create life, some of us with wombs,
some with smiles, some with patient hands.
