Can One Chemical Be the Basis of All Morality? it’s hard to hurt people you feel empathy for

A Techwise Conversation with Paul Zak, author of The Moral Molecule...

 

The substance is oxytocin, and my guest is Paul Zak. He’s a professor of economics, management, and psychology—a combination we’ll be asking him about in a bit—at Claremont Graduate University, and he’s the author of a book being published this month by Penguin, entitled The Moral Molecule: The Source of Love and Prosperity....

 

So we have this sort of yin and yang of morality right inside our own beings. We have oxytocin that makes us care about other people, makes us feel empathy—it’s hard to hurt people you feel empathy for—and then we have testosterone, which lets us enforce the rules.

 

More about Paul Zak

Cry of The Innocent :bridging the link to lack of compassion or empathy, and its interrelationship with disconnection to soul

A Kathleen Lowson Film...The Power of Respect Will Change Our World

 

"This critical film will convey the truth from a deeper level of the psyche, bridging the link to cruelty, lack of compassion or empathy, and its interrelationship with disconnection to soul.

 

A spiritual and psychological study of the human condition, this precedent-setting film will awaken consciousness, with its center on the fur trade as a paradigm of a more expansive nemesis permeating our world."
