Where and what does morality originate from?

The NYT journalist is hardly into his article before he is citing 'moral rectitude' and it follows that he then is the upholder of moral rectitude and Trump is not.So how did Mr Blow ascend to mount moral to so confidently assert his righteousness and the lack of moral fibre with those who have a counter view.

Mr Blow, we do not have an inbuilt moral compass like Bees have stings we are appropriated by culture and arrive at our moral viewpoint through millennia of negotiation and compromise; 'morals' are not causa sui, are they? Etymologically, the term ‘moral’ comes from the Latin mos, which means custom or habit, and it is a translation of the Greek ethos, which means roughly the same thing, and is the origin of the term ‘ethics’. So in Greek philosophy there is no such word as 'moral'.

The role of moral language today is employed as a social instrument for persuasion and one notes that NYT journalists, as do Republicans, employ it all the time. The subtext of 'moral' is good, but where is this 'good' derived from even we propose a supernatural property to identify with goodness, for example the property of being commanded by God It still makes sense to ask whether what God commands is 'good'. Lastly one could regard moral judgment as not purely cognitive at all but guided by pre-conceptual inclinations; think Darwin.
