Baselines for Virtue
Abstract
In this last 1% of human genus existence, many humans have forgotten what humans are and what they can be. We have forgotten many things, including human origins and what humans need for typical development and for positive development and optimal functioning. Baselines for human virtue are better found in converging scholarship and scientific evidence from anthropology, evolution, and neurobiology, evidence that emphasizes processes and systems developed over the course of human evolution. Across human societies through time, leaving nonhuman entities out of the picture is not the typical way humans have viewed virtue. The notion of virtue, in this view, includes flourishing and living the life that is good for a creature to live cooperatively with and within a biodiverse world.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
