I will Not speculate on how it works because a gaggle of hyper rationals will fart on whatever it is because it’s not scientifically provable. It’s not the same as social morality, the unconscious informs morality, the unconscious, collective and otherwise includes a dark side that most people would not include in their morality. Social morality and its basis could deserve their own questions… hmmm
