Evolutionarily stable strategy[edit]
What about the concept of the ESS, where people say "x has proven to be an ESS and therefore it can't be too bad or natural selection would've weeded it out." Men's Rights EXTREMIST (talk) 16:03, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- "Bad" in an ESS sense means "behavior which significantly reduces the number of children". "Bad" in a moral sense means "behavior which is objectively ungood". The two are not necessarily related, unless one equates "reduces children" to "ungood". FᴜᴢᴢʏCᴀᴛPᴏᴛᴀᴛᴏ, Esϙᴜɪʀᴇ (talk/stalk) 16:20, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- It's sort of relevant in that you can't have positive moral value in a world with no extant morally relevant entities, but not much beyond that point. 142.124.55.236 (talk) 16:53, 14 March 42016 AQD (UTC)
