   I disagree. I’m convinced morality is just developed survival instinct. We try to do what’s best for the flock, because if the flock is strong, we increase our own chances of survival.
   How to bring that about is of course subjective, but the core of it is very objective, and all “good” morality (that is, sans the religious so-called same) neatly boils down to this.
