He is so cynical and narcissistic that, imo, he unleashed all this hate, this fascism, without believingin it, just as a way toget respect. And failed at that, too.

EFTA01149271 | EFTA01149271 NEWS & VIEWS EVOLUTION Selection for positive illusions Everybody knows that overconfidence can be foolhardy. But a study reveals that having an overly positive self-image might confer an evolutionary advantage if the rewards outweigh the risks. SEE LETTER P.317 MATTHIJS VAN VEELEN & MARTIN A. NOWAK sk anyone with a driver's licence to rate their own abilities behind the wheel, and most people will report that they are above average'. The same is true for self-assessments ofperformance in cognitive tasks', ofattractiveness' (by men, not by women) and of the healthiness ofour behaviour': people typically place themselves higher on the ladder than they really are. In a survey of 1 millionhigh-school students', a solid 70% rated themselves as above-average leaders (versus 2% who thought of themselves as below average), and a spectacular 94% of college professors possess teaching abilities that are above average — according to themselves°. Obviously they cannot all be right, but that does not make them dysfunctional or mentally unhealthy. In fact, one way to get selfassessments to obey some minimal aggregate consistency is to restrict surveys to sufficiently depressed people' (although this finding has been questioned"). Mentally healthy people blissfully suffer front what are called positive illusions: they overestimate their abilities, as well as their control over events, and they underestimate their vulnerability to risk1'. Ofcourse, one can overrate oneself too much, as do sufferers from narcissistic personality disorder or megalomania, but healthy people's estimates of their own abilities seem to start just a little above where they really are. Reporting on page 317 of this issue, Johnson and Fowler" describe a model that might explain why this is so. An obvious question is how overconfidence survives the process of natural selection. The prevalence of rose-tinted self-assessments suggests that it might even be adaptive to be overconfident — in contrast to schizophrenia, for instance, which is maladaptive but nonetheless exists in moderate proportions in humans. But how can it be adaptive to misjudge how you compare with others? You would think that an incorrect assessment of one's own capabilities can induce only misguided decisions. One suggested explanation is that there is a benefit in having others think that you're great. And as there is no better way ofbeing a strong persuader than firmly believingin yourself, this would lead to an upward bias in how A Figure I I Float like a butterfly, sting lilce a bee. Muhammad Ali saw himself as"the king of the world". His supreme confidence helped him to win many fights. Johnson and Fowler" report that overconfidence can confer an evolutionary advantage. people perceive themselves compared with others". That may lead to a mistake here and there, but the benefits of the esteem ofothers could outweigh that (Fig. 1). Johnson and Fowler" suggest a remarkable alternative explanation. According to their model, a biased self-belief can actually lead people to make the right decision, whereas an unbiased self-image would lead to a suboptimal decision. That sounds counterintuitive, but the key lies in the authors' departure from what could be called the 'naive economist's idea ofhow humans arrive at decisions ('naive because many economists are not that naive at all). The authors model envisages a valuable resource that two individuals can decide to claim or not. If both claim it, then they will fight over it — which is costly for both. The stronger individual will win the fight and gain access to the resource. If only one of them claims the resource, it goes to that person. If neither claims it, no one gets it. Now ifboth contenders could simply assess the fighting strength of the other with perfect accuracy, the optimal strategy would be a no-brainer: fight if you are stronger, concede if you are weaker. But it gets interestingif the contestants have imperfect information about each other's strength. In this situation, contestants might back off because they think their opponent is stronger than he or she really is. A weaker contestant could then win a reward ifshe claims it while the opponent backs off. This situation can be dealt with within the realm of what economists call perfect rationality, which assumes that both parties understand all aspects of their situation, and that they correctly anticipate the odds that the other player will claim the resource. But Johnson and Fowler suggest that there is a short cut to the right decision. The short cut combines a simple heuristic — fight if you think you're stronger — with a bias.If the resource is valuable relative to the cost of fighting, then the risk ofan extra battle here and there is outweighed by the gains made when otherwise unclaimed resources are won, which makes overestimating ones own fighting abilities worthwhile.If the cost of fighting is large relative to the value of the resource, then it is better to underestimate ones own strength.

The state taught you to believe in jobs, borders, police, elections. Belief is their first weapon. Stop believing and start deconstructing.
