      In a Darwinian view, the key freedoms are sexual, familial, & genetic: the freedom to flirt, court, & mate, to choose sexual partners, form relationships, & raise kids, & to settle near other like-minded families. Without those, the other freedoms ring hollow.pic.twitter.com/Cw8cmoM500

      I'm trying to re-center the concept of 'rights' and 'freedoms' from the economic & political sphere to the sexual & reproductive sphere, which I see as more fundamental. Genes run deeper than 'property' or 'democracy'.

          Something akin to evolutionary ethics? I'd read your take on that.

          Competition for resources or ‘property’ seems pretty fundamental, though.

          I've been thinking about this problem in a different way: What is the correct set of values with which to bond groups of people together in order to create stable, functional, sustainable societies across time? Also, when values conflict with each other, which ones yield?

          We have three fundamental freedoms: Life (Right to Live), Liberty (Right to Act), Property (Right to Exclude).

          Much farther back than that, religion was about transcending our baser natures. Humans have flourished since then. Universal to the societies that have flourished are religious restraint on sex and reproduction.

          Outside of choosing sexual partners, there is very little freedom involved in familial matters.

          Surely evolution helps provide a causal explanation of our intuitions about rights (and morality more generally). But how can understanding of evolution inform those intuitions? I think evo psyc lends itself to a noncognitivist stance w.r.t. ethics.
