Not quite sure where you’re going with the religion vs philosophy question, in the context of my statements the only real difference would be removing any threat of divine intervention, which itself may have some effect on the how well groups align with their shared beliefs. Read like that then yes, I would agree that the statement would apply for philosophy, but weaker. As for your original post, you make a jump to stating that evolution would prefer truth, but that’s not a given simply from the fact that we perceive our world in such a way that we consider evolution. Evolution as we understand it is without intent, and only “prefers” that which in the long run yields further offspring. A point I was trying to make was that the truthfulness of for instance religiosity doesn’t impact whether or not it has an effect on “fitness”. A religion can be entirely false, and yet contain memes that make its adherents’ genes procreate more successfully.
