Morals have to be developed and everyone develops differently. That's what makes psychology so useful, it offers a framework rather than a road map. Like how no two diamonds are compositely the same, no two people have the same templates
I'm not saying it's good or bad, just that it means there are infinite ways a person could develop morals or for division on controversial topics. What's important is to push our understanding without presupposing too much and to challenge our beliefs without our hubris hindering us
This is where I see the system fail, a lot of people end up not being able to see beyond themselves and move from an academic mindset to an antagonistic one. If I teach someone how to fish and they teach me how to make fire, then we've helped each other feed our families for life. If I teach someone how to fish and they kill me, that's a developmentally delayed person. If the point is for the betterment of humanity then we should act like it. There should be some level of understanding, which should obviate prejudices, and there should be a discourse where people gain a deeper understanding of things. I see a lot of people immediately go for logical fallacies and it just makes me think a conversation is useless for me
