4. Thanks for another great post
The traditional view of morality is that it is "moral" because it restricts behavior that impedes the autonomy of another. I consider an evolutionary development of concepts in a burgeoning human society, and come to the conclusion that "morality" is merely 'behavior that is competitively advantageous' in a collective sense. IOW, the "plus-sum game" to which you're referring.
