      well, for one thing, it's not necessary to look for the explanation in a "just-so" sense; literally, the motivation circuitry overlaps significantly. it's quite appropriate that people talk about projects and creations as their "babies", "labors of love", stuff like that

      re your friends that don't act IAW "maximum inclusive fitness", I guarantee they do! As long as we're using the polymulticellular organism lens. I certainly know everything I do does, except when I'm fucking up and doing shit that isn't useful, anyway --

      uh, I think you're going to have to provide a slightly more in-depth explanation for, e.g. why me being a kinsey 6 is actually maximizing inclusive fitness

      hmm. for one thing, it's not clear to me that something like your kinsey number has much weight in any direction, regarding I.F. it certainly would have in an earlier time period, but your overall impact on the species' fitness likely has ~nothing to do with it (it's "small O")

      otoh, due to a confluence of factors, i suspect we may come to recognize actual benefits that explain some of the more curious correlations between intelligence + other positive individual traits, w/ traits that "seem" detrimental to an individual's (literal) reproductive success

      Well, if certain flavors of autism, your place on the kinsey scale, whatever, things like that -- if some turn out, in hindsight, to be actively beneficial, the authoritarian tendencies, overactive disgust response etc that killed Alan Turing early qualifyhttps://twitter.com/puellavulnerata/status/1007368338253721602 …

      this species-wide view you're arguing for seems in danger of being unfalsifiable; is there any specific hypothetical behavior you can think of which you would agree is *not* IF-maximizing?

      well THAT is definitely unfalsifiable, but let me ask this: what impact does his existence as it happened on this timeline have on the survival of your genes, vs on a timeline where he, idk, died as a child or didn't exist or whatever?

      none, I think, since my genes aren't going anywhere in either branch?

      This is not how genes work. Barring Andrea-specific mutations, all your genes are out there doing their own thing. This is a pretty key point wrt fitness and Kinsey scale. Or any other personal decision to not have children.

          Yes, a particular genotype induces a particular probability distribution of outcomes - I'm not sure why you think I'm inclined to dispute that though.
