The purely ondarm suggestion seems indeed short-sighted. It’s like calling a particular draw from a Gibbs sampler or Metropolis-Hastings based sampler a ondarm’ draw during a simulated annealing process. Some external fitness function is imposing constraints and the moral beliefs that result from this are samples from some set of possible beliefs, but not arbitrarily ondarm. Any ondarm draw from social-rules-space is not likely to resemble draws that seem at least somewhat optimized for cultural life on Earth
