Selfish Punishment

This thesis about why the biggest cheaters are often the biggest complainers has finally given me a term for what bothers me about Republicans, and my older brother.

"If you're a single selfish individual in a group of altruists, the best thing you can do evolutionarily is to make sure nobody else becomes selfish make sure you're the only one." That is why, he points out, some of the harshest critics of sports doping, for example, turn out to be guilty of steroid use themselves: cheating gives athletes an edge only if their competitors aren't doing it, too.
