Morality


A recent article put out by BBC explores morality. They explain the Human Superorganism Theory that we as individuals act and behave in a super-organism when organized into groups or cities. The theory suggests that we all behave and police the superorganism and make judgements about others within the social structure. According to the theory, moral action is based on our fear of retribution and punishment.
This theory is interesting in regard to the discussion we had about morals.
