Im always reminded of the question: Are humans born good or evil?
We’re obviously born evil or laws wouldn’t exist. You shouldn’t need a law saying not to kill or rob someone. You shouldn’t need physical consequences for crimes.
But because humans aren’t inherently good, you do.
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.

Most people aren’t born evil or less developed societies without a sophisticated criminal justice system would collapse.
