Before, I thought you were saying that people favor moral values that have high K-complexity. This essentially means that people favor moral values that don’t seem arbitrary. I think I agree with that.
Not the moral values actually… the idea is that when making moral comparisons, the perceived complexity (length of internal representation perhaps) may be playing big role. Evolution also tends to pick easiest routes; if the size of internal representation correlated with tribal importance or genetic proximity, then caring more for those most complex represented, would be a readily available solution to discrimination between in-tribe and out-tribe.
That changes a lot.
