    Morality is relative. Societal morality or my gene survival morality?

    There’s evolutionary benefits to being a Dave murderer psychopath that established enough dominance to be left alone

    Then social groups came along and a different part of our brain developed and they duke it out on what is “moral”.

    Religious people like to say “Where’s your moral compass?” But the truth is in our heads is the closest thing to morality this universe so far has ever seen.

    Considering the space rock we’re floating on doesn’t give a fuck about fairness. Even your housecat is going to eat your fucking face off the week you die.
