I would expect evo-debunking arguments to be most relevant to ‘moral intuitions’ that are relatively universal across humans and cultures and historical epochs—and there are many such intuitions studied by moral psychologists, evolutionary anthropologists, evo psych people, etc.
Whereas, ‘moral intuitions’ that are more culture-limited or idiosyncratic probably aren’t as open to evo-debunking—although they might be subject to other kinds of debunking (e.g. cultural/historical analysis of where the cultural ‘intuition’ originated; psychological analysis of how an individual’s traumatic experiences shaped their moral judgments, etc.)
Well, I’ve been noodling that human physiology defines our senses, our senses limit our ability to represent information to ourselves, and correction for differences of sensory representation of different sets of information from the same class allows for better comparisons and other reasoning about each (for example, interpreting) . A classic example is television pharmaceutical drug ads. The ads present verbal information about the dangers of a medication in tandem with visual information showing happy people benefiting from the same medication. Typically.
Noah - ‘intuition’ does seem pretty vague.
