I agree that humans are not aligned with inclusive genetic fitness, but i think you could look at evolution as a bunch of different optimizers at any small stretch in time and not just a singel optimizer. If not getting killed by spiders is necessary for IGF for example, then evolution could be though off as both an optimizer for IGF and not getting killed by spiders. Some of these optimizers have created mesaoptimizers that resemble the original optimizer to a strong degree. Most people really care about their own biological children not dying for example. I think that thinking about evolution as multiple optimizers, makes it seem more likely that gradient descent is able to instill correct human values sometimes rather than never.
