The ‘dark’ sides of behavior This year’s CBEN (Cognition Behavior & Evolution Network) and MVE (CBEN’s German sister network Menschliches Verhalten aus evolutionärer Perspektive) joint meeting takes place in Maastricht. 2024 marks CBEN’s 10th and MVE’s 25th anniversary, making this a ‘doubly special’ occasion. The theme for 2024 will explore economic, psychological, and biological perspectives on the‘dark’ sides of behavior, such as exploitation, violence, discrimination, criminal and antisocial behavior, conflict and war. How come that we as humans are those social animals that became uniquely cooperative, cultural, and civilized? How come that, at the exact same time, we are our own worst enemy, dehumanizing, subjugating, exploiting, and aggressing each other? And, most importantly: How can we prevent the conflicting interests permeating all human societies from escalating into segregation, suppression, violence, and war? These and related questions shape the program and will be addressed by the plenary speakers. 👉 Date: 24 & 25 October 2024 (with a pre-conference on October 23) 👉 Place: School of Business and Economics (Maastricht University, Netherlands) 👉 Plenary speakers: ◾ Ingela Alger (Institute for Advanced Study in Toulouse IAST) ◾ Subhasish M. Chowdhury (The University of Sheffield) ◾ Faye Thompson (University of Exeter) ◾ Ingo Zettler (University of Copenhagen (Københavns Universitet)) 👉 Organizers: Hannes Rusch and Lennart Reddmann, with invaluable support from Elke Lucas. 👉 More information on https://lnkd.in/eptEWisG #behavior #exploitation #violence #discrimination #antisocialbehavior #conflict #war Max Planck Law, Max Planck Society

Excited to share my latest blog post, "E/acc as a Religion: A Technologist's Right to Choose." This piece explores the emerging concept of effective accelerationism (E/acc) and its implications for technologists in today's rapidly evolving digital landscape. I delve into the philosophical aspects of E/acc, examining how it shapes our decisions and beliefs in technology. I invite you to explore these insights and consider the impact of choice in our technological journey.

🚨 🚨 This is an excellent contribution by Vivien Schmidt chartering the course of European integration in four phases and also offering valid criticism of each strand of integration theories. Much food for thought for anyone interested in understanding the Grand Narrative of European integration and the interplay between law, institutions and politics in this endeavour. 👇 #eupolitics #euintegration #functionalism #ernsthaas #supranationalism #intergovernmentalism cc: Dermot Hodson Paul James Cardwell Christian Kaunert
