I felt similarly. I’d also like to see them dig more into their mammalian values + human cognition + evolution of human society/culture. Specifically, (1) defending the breakdown as a good account of human values and (2) separating out their claims about values in human cultures (and being a bit clearer about whether they claim that cultural values are less likely ‘true’ values, however that might be cashed out) and about values arising from historical incident
Hmm, I don’t see a distinction to be made in terms of values that come from culture vs. from other places other than if you are simply interested in the etiology of those values. What do you have in mind when you reference “‘true’ values”?
It wasn’t clear to me from the paper if they thought values that came from our contingent history could be worth preserving or promoting. For example, they might think they engage our same moral intuitions as mammalian values without being worth defending
