Well said. Good post.morality is simply a product of natural selection in social species.
And not to split hairs and I'm not disagreeing with anything you said, but I'd also suggest it's not just simply a product of natural selection. I admit I'm changing the context here, but I think it's important to note that it's also a word people pulled out of our asses- arguably like love, evil, etc- to slap on a certain something so we can assign meaning to it. Not that there's anything wrong with that necessarily. But in my view we overdo it and waste too much time and energy assigning meaning to various human characteristics.
It's easy for these conversations to spin off into oblivion over semantics and various subjectivities... context, mild differences in definitional interpretations, etc etc blah blah pussy dick lol blah blah, etc. Like, for example, I believe you and I are merely talking about morality. Not its origins or how it exists, necessarily.
