Better ways of thinking, feeling, and acting—around problems of meaning and meaninglessness; self and society; ethics, purpose, and value.

I’ve tried to speculate also about the sexual-strategy function of monist/leftist/secularist “religion”—not just for fairness, but insight.
If you strip off the moralizing verbiage (however sincere), whose *reproductive* interests are promoted by secular sexual morality, and how?
Maybe I don't fully grok the question, but isn't it individual secularists who benefit?...
Presumably… but how and why? Story about how conservative Christians benefit reproductively from sexual restriction is complex.
my story is that they don't benefit in fitness, but in factors historically associated with fitness (status, sex)
Strongly agree with that in part (contraception wrecked evolutionary mechanisms); but also per-child investment
is presumably part of the answer. But then working out details of how secular morality benefits status&sex takes
some work. Much of which has been done by crimethink communities, of course!
To be a trifle trollish, Weeden&Kurzban have applied standard crimethink methods to conservative Christians…
…who the usual crimethink suspects weren’t interested in, and got amusing answers.
Do you have a reference I could refer to?
