We should reserve the notion of 'morality' for the ways in which we can affect one another's experience for better or worse. Some people use the term 'morality' differently, of course, but I think we have a scientific responsibility to focus the conversation so as to make it most useful.
Sam Harris

Human well-being is not a random phenomenon. It depends on many factors - ranging from genetics and neurobiology to sociology and economics.

Friedrich Nietzsche
