whatever brain algorithms motivate prosociality are not significantly altered by increases in general intelligence
I tend to think that to an extent each human is kept in check by other humans so that being prosocial is game-theoretically optimal. The saying “power corrupts” suggests that individual humans are not intrinsically prosocial. Biases make people think they know better than others.
Human variability in intelligence is minuscule and is only weak evidence as to what happens when capabilities increase.
I don’t hold this belief strongly, but I remain unconvinced.
I have updated to it being a mix. It is not only being kept in check by others. There are benevolent rulers. Not all and nit reliable, but there seems to be potential.
