I'm not clear why you "need something that guarantees your choice of the one, or the ones, that you lean on to create your 'natural morality'."
Why the need, and what does 'guarantees' mean?

Is it thought that creating this 'natural morality' would be a way of preventing others adopting the 'immoral' methods of evolutionary success?
