Like many things the simple imitations we do within our groups are evolved utilitarianisms. When we cooperate with outgroups our ingroup morals are irrelevant since it is violation of the outgroup’s morals that causes retaliation. When we predict outcomes of any group, all groups, the moral standard of weights and measures (universals) are how we both distinguish between groups and resolve conflicts between them.
Ingroup morality: the set of via positiva rules we live by.
Outgroup morality: pure pragmatism
Universally Decidable Morality: the set of via negativa rules we must live by to avoid retaliation, conflict, and war.
Conflict between groups is universally decidable (via neutral)
Conflict within groups is decidable by variation from positivas.
Conflict across groups is predictable by variation from universal decidabily (via negativa)
I am not sure why this is hard to understand but it seems to be challenging for a lot of people.
