Would you agree that Altruism is 'hard-wired' into human brains?

Alison's Contribution:

Great question. Interesting article.

The gist of the article is that your moral compass is determined by how well your brain functions, and, that the foundation of morality is empathy.

Part 2: The types of people I that I have seen succeed in their careers are those who have great Empathic abilities - the ability to strategize, seek competitive advantage, take care of their staff along the way.

Sorry if this isn't the answer you seek, but I think it's the one I need to make even though altruistic is a word I'd use to describe myself.
