Would most people still behave morally if there were absolutely no possibility of punishment, shame or social consequences?

Most people would behave morally most of the time. But there's always a small percentage for whom even law enforcement and courts are not enough to stop their bad behavior. And the rest will succumb to their worst instincts occasionally. It's what we are as a species.

[FreyaRed]

Majority would still behave morally but some individuals would chimp out.

Not a chance... just look at Trump. He faces no consequences due to his power and he is as immoral as they come.

Thirty years ago I would have said absoluely. Now I have my doubts.

[msc545]

Probably not. They don't behave morally now when there really is a possibility of shame or social consequences.

You’re just commenting for the sake of commenting without any context.

[Agape93]

You didn't ask for context. You asked a yes or no question, so I gave a no. If you want context or my reasoning, i certainly can.

[Just_Ken]
