He is right, compassion, love, emotions are all inborn, so does, hate, disgust, anger and they are the ones that destroy us ...thus the reason for the commandment "thou shall not kill" love your neighbour as yourself," "thou shall not steal" someone must have known that we would go down that road some day.
Through Keltner's own admission morals are inborn and instinctual in all pre-persons. But not only in all pre-persons - whereby a person (or human) follows - but *all* members of the human (or even primate) specie. And the definition of *all* is every member of that specie from the first occurrence of 'modern primates', or humans. From an infant born this day, to an infant born 300,000 years ago. All pre-persons - since time was measured - possessed the *exact same moral framework.* Yes, this sounds absurd. As absurd as Keltner's position in this field. What measured results Keltner recorded are not morals, they are simply instinctual *reflexes* inherent in the specie which pre-date 'modern primates'. This dimension of human evolution was not studied. Just as the ear, appendix, hair, digits on appendages evolved into the primate specie makeup - *emotional reflexes" have followed. Keltner opened a bunch of doors into the development of human emotion but never bothered to reach doors further back in primate development. Pre-persons possess no innate, inborn or instinctual 'morals.' If this were true - if all pre-persons (and subsequently humans) began as immaculate 'moral' vessels - explain how is it the following came into creation: abortion; slavery; pornography; child abuse; suicide; war; drug abuse. If a pre-person (and subsequent human) possessed *any* morals, would you not agree - for the sake of self preservation and survival - *all* pre-persons would be adverse to abortion? Keltner's results are simple to understand; to get along, you have to go along. There are no 'morals.'
Dacher Keltner is a gift to the world! He's awesome!

The talk is about Compassion (and Empathy), for those looking for a subject or title.
You're the goat for this
I think I'm in love ❤️
This is what it's about. Loved the EdX course!
I love this video! Particularly the thought about touch. I will touch people more - hope they don't find it weird:)
Ya hice todo lo posible y no lo escucho en español

Hmm the kindness gene must have skipped you, sadly...
