I mean, isn't morality all about doing the right thing in the face of perverse incentives? If status gains can be used to excuse anything we do, where will it all end?

[kolleykibber]

With better incentives hopefully. Nature has no care for morality.

If you find a prosecutor in nature, you should contact Sir David Attenborough. That would have the makings of an extraordinary documentary!

Humans do. Humans are the only species with the capability to transcend their nature.

But do you think they have this ability ... by nature ? Which makes it human nature ? Which is thus not transcended ? This can be an argument to say that having the innate sense of good vs bad (if that's a thing) can have a species incentive, not an individual incentive. which we share with many species, come to think of it.
