Group Selection is not a thing[1]. There's an equilibrium of honesty and dishonesty. If everyone is dishonest, no one trusts, and the dishonesty doesn't pay off. If everyone is honest, everyone trusts, and dishonesty pays off all the more. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_selection#Criticism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_selection#Criticism
