Well, maybe not, as accomplishing moral goals may not be equivalent to survival.
Consider a stand-and-die order.
Idk that it’s a conundrum that our agency isn’t required to accomplish moral goals… but that probably has something to do with my being a natural realist willing to wave away such questions as somehow woven into the fabric of reality itself. I think that the moral goals were always there to anything that could observe or effect them by any means.
In sum…I think our specific agency ( whatever that is) makes us -better- at it, is all. Better not in the sense that we succeed more often…but better, at least, in that we realize when we fail.
