That's my follow up question for discussion. Why would you abandon your morals and your sense of what is right and wrong? What is it about your nature that compel you to do that?
Most of what people do is out of self-interest. To satisfy a need or desire. Fear of consequences like pain, social shame, hurting people I care about, legalities, etc, keep me from going too far around the bend.
I do not believe that morality is an inherent trait. I think it needs a surrounding social, legal, punitive/reward structure to support its development and maintenance.
