The team behind the record labels Preference Records and The Village is here with an internet radio program.

Humans’ biggest advantage over other species is our ability to cooperate. Cooperation is difficult to establish and almost as difficult to sustain. For any individual, freeloading is always the best course of action. Reason developed not to enable us to solve abstract, logical problems or even to help us draw conclusions from unfamiliar data; rather, it developed to resolve the problems posed by living in collaborative groups.

“Reason is an adaptation to the hypersocial niche humans have evolved for themselves,” Mercier and Sperber write. Habits of mind that seem weird or goofy or just plain dumb from an “intellectualist” point of view prove shrewd when seen from a social “interactionist” perspective.

Mejiwahn is a producer/DJ based in Oakland, CA. With a strong preference for vinyl, and drawing from a wide range of genre and style, his selections combine themes of instrumental virtuosity and romantic lyricism. Music with a distinct character of jazz/folk fusion from Brazil, Argentina, Cuba and the US make up the majority of his sets. Though, in the end, it’s all about the feeling.
