Bah
I love this kind of conversation, pity I'm so busy in work and at home
I find the whole thrust of your enquiry puzzling snaky. Wasn't it yourself, in a previous exchange on thumped, that made me realise that, on top of whatever hard-wired ethics we have evolved to have, everyone has some fundamental priority list they base their moral framework on? Are you now seriously looking for some sort of moral absolute?

I hope you're not talking about me - I use "hardwired" to mean something is pre-installed in our brains, and not something learned. No moral judgement one way or the other involved.People use this term "hardwired" a lot, as some kind of comfort
Of course it would. The whole idea of considering hardwired behaviours separately from learned ones is we can't get rid of the former, or somehow educate them out of people.My computer here has the folder "Windows" hardwired (I guess, I'm no computer guy) into its folder structure ... And if I deleted it, would it not have a profound and devastating effect on the functioning, ability, and identity of the computer?
