Morality is flim-flam

"Morality – that is, morality as a social institution, consisting in the feeling of certain emotions and the transmission of tendencies to experience those emotions -- has survival value. Those groups that have it are more likely to survive than those that lack it, even though individuals within moral groups might be made individually worse off through acting in accordance with morality than against it." I always love a good morality discussion apart from religious dictates. Have at the commentary here (with a link to the original).
