To what extent is the success of your FAI project dependent upon the reliability of the dominant paradigm in Evolutionary Psychology (a la Tooby & Cosmides)?

Old, perhaps off-the-cuff, and perhaps outdated quote (9/4/02): “<Eliezer> well, the AI theory assumes evolutionary psychology and the FAI theory definitely assumes evolutionary psychology” (http://www.imminst.org/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t144.html).

Thanks for all your hard work.
