So that package of adaptive information is being passed in parallel to the genes. But again, it is unfortunately obligated to serve the ends that the genome is evolved to serve.

I mean, again, let's just work from the other perspective and see whether or not we arrive in the same place. Morality, as far as I can tell, is synonymous with self-sacrifice. Correct. That which is moral is you bypassing an evolutionary opportunity. Exactly. Right. So why would you do that? Why would evolution program you to bypass an evolutionary opportunity?

Well, the answer is because there are competing evolutionary puzzles. So... The question of, you know, should you betray your spouse, right? Obviously, evolutionarily, it's not hard to understand the argument in favor, right? You might father a child, fathering children passes on some genes. We get why evolution might point you toward that, right?

the delayed benefit of not betraying your spouse is substantial but hard to convey right so the religious doctrine that tells you this is how you should be and you may see reasons not to be this way But you can't escape the consequences of them. Those consequences will arrive, right?

Again, if we go back to the question of, you know, what happens in a community that's full of people betraying each other? Well, starvation might be one thing that happens. You can describe that in terms of a God who's angry. And disappointed with people where you can describe that in game theoretic terms in which, you know, cascades of betrayal result in lack of coordination.
