      The premodern approach is based in faith. The postmodern approach is based on a cynical rejection of all that came before. The modern approach, the one most deeply and accurately informed by an evolutionary world view, is based on skepticism.https://www.patreon.com/posts/22296341

      Prof. Heying is recommending an evolution-based skeptical view of morals and purpose in human living. But is such a skeptical view really any different from the cynical view? Evolution means that survival & dominance in the struggle against others is the highest good.

      Cooperation is just as evolutionary as competition. Yes, it is true that many evolutionary drives are reprehensible (and by understanding them as such we have our best chance of avoiding them). But many other evolutionary drives are beautiful and collaborative.

      If I am wrong in thinking that all cooperation is evolved behavior carried out as a means of inter-group competition, then I would like to know. Many people speak of evolved cooperativeness as proof that evolution is benevolent, or at least not totally vicious. Who's right?

      Evolution is not benevolent—nor is it malevolent. It just is. Resources (water, food, nest sites, mates, cash…) are limited and limiting, therefore an individual’s success often comes at the cost of someone else not getting what you are using to survive. This is true.

      But collaboration—between organelles to make eukaryotes, between microorganisms and multicellular organisms to make us who we are (e.g. the microbiome), between social groups of dolphins, wolves, humans—is just as evolutionary.

          I cannot decide what is correct, and although I could be wrong, I believe that was determined to be my response.

          I am sorry to be disagreeable. But I often hear this view, stated implicitly or explicitly, that the fact of evolved Cooperation shows that World Peace & Justice, as conceived of in Marxist/Humanist/Liberal circles, is possible. I wish that were true! But we must accept science!

          "collaboration...is just as evolutionary" "Cooperation is just as evolutionary as competition." In humans & in all living beings, all collaboration/cooperation is IN SERVICE to COMPETITION for resources. Darwin said that the "the struggle for life" drives evolution, not kindness.

          But isn't absolutely EVERYTHING about humans, & all living beings, evolutionary in nature, root, & origin? So, of course cooperation is evolutionary. The human love of music is evolutionary, but that doesn't mean that music is what has driven & drives human evolution.
