In the study of human nature, what is the meaning of the acronym WEIRD? People who are Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic are the most cooperative people in the world. O People who are White, Elderly, Informed, Rich and Dead (like Marx, Darwin, and Kropotkin) have been among the most influential authors on the topic of human cooperation. O People who are Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and from Democratic countries are NOT representative of all humanity, yet they are oversampled in studies of human behavior. People who are Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and from Democratic countries hold most of the political power in the world, and so they are the least cooperative people.
