If morality is just social software — a kind of collective code installed in us to keep societies functioning — then removing it is like stripping away the user interface that keeps our instincts in check. What’s left isn’t necessarily chaos, but raw function: decisions driven purely by efficiency, survival, or gain, without the weight of guilt or the need for justification. In such a world, empathy might still exist, but only if it serves a purpose. Laws could still operate, but as tools, not as reflections of shared values. It’s a cold, almost mechanical vision of humanity — one where right and wrong dissolve into calculations of cost and consequence, and where the concept of “ought” is replaced entirely by “works.”
