...folk-ethical intuitions that clash with seemingly clear-cut consequentialist arguments may in fact be instances of such decision algorithms, and thus in fact serving non-obvious but critically important functions in practice.
Is it fair to say that they are common to the extent they self-replicate, and that usefulness to the host is one important factor in each algorithm’s chance to exist? An important factor, but only one; only one factor, but an important one?
