It is another duality slide. Instead of either one or the other being true, is it possible that both could be true and both could be untrue, depending on the perspective one sees with?
I say sometimes they are both true and sometimes they are both untrue.

It is impossible to be intrinsically moral. Morality is a fabrication of society.
Sometimes morality is fabricated around what may be most constructive to the species. Sometimes it is fabricated around myths of tent dwellers. Green eggs and ham sam I am.

I pick B. We're all born monsters, screaming for what we want. Our parents have to teach us to share, to be compassionate; it does not come naturally. Not for me, anyway. I have to make a conscious decision to be kind to others, it's not my first impulse.

thanks, IP_SEC for some logic. Morality is the result of hunter-gatherers entering into a life of permanent farming and herding around 10,000 years ago . It just wasn't kosher after that to knock your neighbor on the head and take his food and women any longer. Then we developed laws to deal with freeloaders who found it easier to steal the bounty of another man's labor rather than go hunt and gather his food or settle down and grow it. Today we call those same types crooks, bank robbers, embezzlers and CEO's . Some of our old remnant dna just won't go away.

I think deep down inside, we're all good.
Except for when we're bad.
