But "group selection" is incoherent nonsense.

@AtheistStoned@SamHarrisOrg@robsica@paulbloomatyale Group selection with regards to CULTURAL evolution - memes, not genes... -
It's still sloppy thinking. Groups of memes get conflated with groups of people.
@evidence_reason@SamHarrisOrg@robsica@paulbloomatyale -
@AtheistStoned@SamHarrisOrg@robsica@paulbloomatyale No. Only conflations here are yours: cultural w/ genetic evolution & ideas w/ people -
@AtheistStoned@SamHarrisOrg@robsica@paulbloomatyale It's completely uncontroversial 2 speak of group selection when talking about culture -
@AtheistStoned@SamHarrisOrg@robsica@paulbloomatyale 1 can make judgements re: beliefs & practices of culture w/o animosity 2wards people -
Not making moral argument. Problem with "group selection" it's logically incoherent
