I'm going to have to tell you now that the science there isn't actually very good and the monkeysphere theory is basically evopsych BS. =P
There are plenty of people who demonstrate the ability to care about people well beyond '150' or some other arbitrary number. It's basically a way to rationalize not giving a damn when you're feeling that guilty nag that you DON'T feel more upset when tens of thousands of Japanese citizens are washed away to sea during your lunch break, but the guilt itself is evidence that you're not unaware.
Lack of consideration is cultural training, not biological. And the article itself demonstrates its wrongness, because while they 'proved' their theory because monkeys may live in those troupe sizes, -humans don't-, thus indicating that the indicators they look for are incorrect.
Can't say much about the advice because by the time he started comparing everyone to Obama Bin Laden, and saying any fast food worker would throw food on the floor and then serve it to the customer (which is bull because most fast food workers aren't actually dicks) I just gave up. :p
