I'm not sure how broadly to define the Gaze. I think it is a sort of

I guess I don't get it :-) Is the group selection mechanism an inheritance

learned from you is how important it is to define terms correctly if we don't

Yeah, while I disagree with the minor point Barry makes about the coloring
(e.g. CA is darker but with larger pop than TX, same re NY and PA), the

This map, like many others, is pretty much a map showing the population
of each state. Using color to give #insurrectionists/population would be
better, but even this still improperly gives relative importance to the
states with large areas.

Vermont was an independent country with its own currency and army, before
joining the U.S., so it might be an interesting option. A kind of counterpoint
to Texas; the other independent country that became a state.

Glen,
As you-sual you hit the nail on several of its heads. It's quite easy to
represent inheritance as co-variance among the generations. In fact, absent
all the blather about genes and alleles and loci, etc., that's what inheritance
IS.
The crucial issue in groupselection (as it is with
But I suppose it makes some sense to eliminate the concept of inheritance and
focus on variation. Inheritance assumes a discreteness in traits that variation
doesn't. And in this way, we might track the ontogeny (intra-generational
variation) of units of selection similarly to tracking inter-

It's interesting how bright Texas and Florida are. Maybe I should move to
Vermont next. 8^D
