So our bottom up morality is merely an addiction to a feel-good drug. He gives no reason to be moral except to get a drug fix. Here's a research question. How do people react when they realize they're being manipulated by drugs?

This isn't accurate! Oxytocin levels can cause both euphoria and aggression!

[@MRKetter81]

He never said Euphoria, he said Empathy; a mother's Empathy for her child is also her aggression to anyone trying to harm that child.
