babies and teens are all capable to consent, the only thing that needs to change according to age is the action

MapGuy45657, interesting! I also tend to have this evolutionary-first approach.

It's also interesting to notice that evolution, at least until now, is mostly selecting for people NOT to be conscious of the evolutionary origin of their behavior.

Yeah most people simply don't want or don't have the capacity to really accept okay, I'm literally a reverse engineerable sex computer from replicator logic, my theories of human behavior have to not violate these axioms. It's hard to find solid epistemology. I'm gald to see you see the coherence of my thought. Do you have a theory of your own?

With so many theories already out there, I don't formulate my own; instead, I weigh the existing ones to form an opinion. My initial epiphany came after reading "The Selfish Gene", leading me to believe that all human experience is driven by gene survival. But learning about the "Baldwin effect", a feedback loop where culture influences natural selection, shattered that simplicity. I now realize the reality is far more nuanced and complex...
