• Coding Aventure is one of my favorite intellectual(?) exploration channels, along with Primer, who's had a great string of genetic/evolution simulation videos exploring the emergent evolution of society [VIDEO]

• Happy you found it helpful! The final section (imposters) of this [1] simplified exploration of “green beard altruism” might be of interest to you if you want to explore this further. If you’re interested in thinking about things like this generally, these are Nash equilibrium …
