I'm going to back out. I think I could misspeak to easily. Or throw too many questions my ADHD brain wouldn't process first... lol. Hopefully I can keep up with comments though

Adding biological impulses, does not define morality. Is the idea that these biological imperatives/impulses become the morality? Procreative impulses come to mind, and morality currently holds heavily in this area. Morality by this, cannot safely be defined by biological impulses. Though, at a root level, everything can be accepted once normalized. Add in outliers for everything.

I believe it's both, like many things it's not a simple one size answer. Nature vs nurture is a good example. Both play a part in the end result.

Having no empathy for a small baby is seen as harmful for care. But that lack of empathy might make it easier to hunt and kill animals that provide sustenance. While too much empathy could inhibit this process.

Horse shit. It's called preparing for retirement. Aging out of jobs. Losing friend circles that mature at different rates. A thousand things. This post is toxic.

You HAVE to make an effort. If you just "wait till it's your time", you're throwing your life away on the chance of a lottery ticket to life. It just doesn't happen like that

Edit: and just a fucked up example. Kids don't need to have babies, there ARE timelines worth following.
