@marcmaxson - evo explanations do away with the need for moral answers for why good stuff & bad stuff exists. thats what is so surprising.

@mforstater not sure if they "do away with" moral explanations -- but it is outside the domain of evo methods, which only measure behavior1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@marcmaxson - Not that they do away with individual morals, but with moral explanations as causation for macro phenomena ...

@mforstater there are no "macro" phenomena in evolution - only the emergent pattern from individual behaviors working1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@marcmaxson right, but when observe a macro phenomenon - poverty, climate change, destruction of the buffalo, we look for a moral villain

@marcmaxson emergent pattern explanations replace hero/villain explanations in the same way bio evolution replaced creation legends
