i.e. if evolution has precisely titrated the percentage of homosexuality etc so as to maximise IGF taking into account benefits of bonding, additional childcare, group selection etc, then this is actually evidence for evolution achieving a much greater level of alignment than otherwise!
What is evolution’s true goal? If it’s genetic fitness, then I don’t see how this demonstrates alignment. Human sexuality is still just an imperfect proxy, and doesn’t point at the base objective at all.
I agree that it’s very interesting how robust this is to the environment we grow up in, and I would expect there to be valuable lessons here for how value formation happens (and how we can control this process in machines).
