Please elaborate.
Because it seemed to me .. like you had done that ignoring of basic evolutionary mechanisms .. with the previous over simplification of fertility .. while ignoring all (non-fertility) factors that influence 'survival of the fittest'.

Perhaps.
Can you re-state / elaborate your point?
You've refused to answer some of my previous probing questions .. which makes it more difficult for me to figure it out.

Incorrect derogatory 'perhaps' about me.

I'd like you to answer the questions I've asked you as often as I answer yours.

'should' is very subjective .. and variable depending on specifics of desired outcome , context , etc .. Given that question I can think of numerous various potential answers .. 1st 3 that come to mind.
#1>
For the purpose 'context' of directly my own genetic contribution to the whole of the species .. yes I 'should' care for my own kids more than others.
#2>
However .. as a 'pack' animal it is a benefit to the pack if I cared for the other kids equally to my own .. that benefits the pack .. being a part of a pack benefits me and my kids .. soo in that context there is a potential evolutionary positive feed back that .. I 'should' care for them equally... but only others of my 'pack' , that are part of my 'benefit feedback'.
#3>
If my kid is about to murder/rape/etc someone else .. I 'should' ethically care more about that other innocent/good/etc kid than my own sadistic murder/rapist/etc.
etc ... etc.
