Thank god they vertically integrated and hyper-optimized the entire codebase!

Completely side-stepping the science vs religion argument that is waiting to erupt, I feel like the most base morality does have a place in society and is probably biological in origin. For instance, one moral tenet might be "don't be an asshole to other people". The biological programming behind this may simply be that humans have instincts similar to animals that recognize (after millennia of trial and error) that if you intentionally prey upon someone else, you will eventually run into another creature that will fight back (and potentially win). As human beings, since we don't have to naturally prey on each other in terms of eating each others' carcasses for nourishment, other sorts of (morally unnecessary) preying upon humans often will do nothing but cause unneeded conflict in both people's lives.

It seems like a philosophical moral concept (i.e. "the golden rule"), but the reality is that if you're an asshole, you may well get stomped to the curb (or worse). Same goes for other extremely base moral concepts... in fact, trying to vocalize other examples of what is considered moral behavior, I realize that the majority of it boils down to the aforementioned tenet. When not taken to dogmatic extremes, it appears that almost all basic morality illustrates circumstances where if you commit a certain act, you may face uncomfortable repercussions; if you simply treat some situations with restraint and / or respect, you will easily avoid said uncomfortable repercussions.
