@sapinker both can be true: natural selection designed our moralistic tendencies to serve the self's (or at least the genes') interests.

@robertwrighter@sapinker But in morally-motivated acts, there's usually a big difference between the self's and the genes' interests. -
@bowmanthebard@sapinker can be, yes. but my main point is that moralism can be unconsciously self-interested. -
@robertwrighter@sapinker Yes, such as giving to charity as an ornament of sexual selection. But when danger is involved, I think it's rare.

@sapinker@1Lolamarina I think that's a smokescreen. The puppet-masters are driven by greed. -
@LegionAvalon Greed is a "religion " for those who practice it. Some people were born with no desire to accumulate wealth.
