I’d have to think and read about this more to move it beyond pure speculation, but I feel a little less sympathetic to the ecological validity response in the domain of moral judgments. It seems plausible to me that the problems that confront our moral faculties today are very dissimilar to those in the environment of evolutionary adaptedness—even more so than with faculties of prudential rationality—and/or that our moral faculties transfer less well to radically new environments.
Yup, I definitely agree with points 1, 2, and 4.
