Perhaps. My downvotes of the ones here don’t matter too much given that voting is all backwards anyhow!
Perhaps we could repost them in the original irrationality thread?
That sounds like a good idea.
I do think your ‘pure moral drift’ idea is a good example of a controversial belief. Moral change does seem to be in a clear direction—adapting in part to new circumstances due to other forms of progress. I’d call that different to just ‘drift’.
Not quite, while I’m a bit agnostic on “adaptive” (especially since that has a technically meaning in genetics that I’d likely dispute), but my core argument is that we have surprisingly little reason to consider the process generating moral change so far to be normative.
Yeah I’ll delete my comments too.

I’d agree with that.
