Evolution may have generated more intensely motivating-per-second pains in response to injury than pleasures in response to positive events, because injury risks more fitness per second than positive events gain

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Human psychology has evolved to generate pleasure and pain where this motivated reproductive fitness, not to maximize well-being, entailing hard-to-avoid suffering and sparingly doled pleasuresclaim0.833
  Grounds the claim that digital minds can be engineered to have much better hedonic balance than humans
• Evolution was using developmental bioelectricity long before neurons and muscles appeared, to solve the problem of creating and repairing complex bodies.claim0.796
  Claim about the primacy of bioelectric morphogenesis.
• Stress motivates care; care produces the alleviating structure. Visual and physical sense gates are different access points to the same care manifold.claim0.780
• For a new level of individuality to have causal role as evolutionary unit, heritable fitness differences must be non-aggregative (not decomposable into lower-level differences).claim0.777
  Core claim: monotonic non-linearities are insufficient; evolutionary outcomes must change depending on context.
• Sidestepping desire and attachment rather than struggling against them would make awakening easier, and biology might not be intelligence’s destiny.claim0.768
  Suggests a strategic advantage of non-organic intelligence for Buddhist goals.
• Stress sharing will be favored by evolutionary processes.hypothesis0.768
  Evolutionary fitness hypothesis tested in the GA.
• Biology's robustness, open-endedness, evolvability, and unique complexity likely depend on the fact that evolution works with an agential material.claim0.766
  Central claim linking life's properties to the inherent competencies of its material substrate.
• Life exploits multi-scale competency architecture enabling adaptation to novel circumstances much faster than evolution alone.hypothesis0.765
  Authors hypothesize that plasticity observed in individual lifetimes suggests architecture providing greater efficiency than blind evolutionary search.
