hmm, I disagree on that one. Loving your neighbor as yourself, do unto others, etc, has clear advantages from a social reproduction standpoint, and so I would assume societies that have this code would be at an advantage over those that don't.

Among universal cooperators, defectors have an advantage (lots of easy marks). Among universal defectors, cooperators have an advantage (can actually get anything done).

In a theoretical construction being a defector in a group of universal cooperators is advantageous but practically speaking you can't evolve a group of universal cooperators without brutal enforcement of cooperative norms (strong enough to overcome the edge for defecting) 1/2
