Thank you for writing this insightful piece, Dr Stelk. Your articulate and engaging piece encourages us envisioning a morality based on intrinsic values rather than external dictates, blending compelling anecdotes with profound scientific insights, promoting contemplation on the nature of goodness beyond prescriptive doctrines. We can learn a lot from the behavior of toddler as you articulated beautifully. I observed such moral behaviour in my kids when they were interacting with their peers showing the embedded cognition in our biology.
