In the long run, the most successful ideologies are going to be those that are best aligned with evolution. Unfortunately, evolution tends to be very unpleasant for its participants. At some point, we may have to choose between favoring ethics or life.

As for now, evolution has obviously favored each participant in my ancestral line. (Not sure about pleasant.) However, my personal ideological virus seems to favor ethics above survival of the genotype. So, is this really a choice or an 'evolutionary layer' above DNA at work?

Evolutionary selection for ideology is probably real to at least some degree. After WW2, the Germans were very deliberately deprogrammed from their radically racist ideology and given a humanist one. Neither fascism nor antifacism were accidental.
