If electricity comes from electrons, where does morality come from?

    Nice try, but we both know one has nothing to do with the other, despite the droll play on words. 

    To paraphrase someone [even] wiser than I, morality is essentially “the pragmatic and culture-driven expression of a set of neural systems that have evolved to allow the navigation (and growth) of complex human social systems“. Morality comes from our need to function cohesively within society.

    (Yes, some of it is moronic)

    Unlike electricity, morality comes from within!

    So if there is an "ity" then all the words ending in ity have to be similar?  And come from the same place?

    Where do calamaties fit then?  Do they come from calamtrons? ?
