If liberty is the objective, is the non-aggression principle sufficient?\u00a0\u00a0If the non-aggression principle is insufficient, what might that mean for those who wish to develop a proper theory for the realization of liberty?<\/p>\n

And, as predicted by the theory, these seven moral rules \u2013 love your family, help your group, return favors, be brave, defer to authority, be fair, and respect others\u2019 property \u2013 appear to be universal across cultures.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The authors studied sixty societies and found these behaviors to always be considered morally good.\u00a0\u00a0These behaviors were found across continents, not limited to any particular culture or region.\u00a0\u00a0Further, there were no counter-examples: no societies in which any of these behaviors was considered to be bad.<\/p>\n

\u2018Morality as cooperation\u2019 does not predict that moral values will be identical across cultures. On the contrary, the theory predicts \u2018variation on a theme\u2019: moral values will reflect the value of different types of cooperation under different social and ecological conditions.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In other words, just because these different communities hold to these same rules, it doesn\u2019t mean that the application is identical.\u00a0\u00a0The concepts are the same; the lifestyles might be quite different.<\/p>\n

What is the purpose of these moral rules?<\/p>\n

Converging lines of evidence \u2013 from game theory, ethology, psychology, and anthropology \u2013 suggest that morality is a collection of tools…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
