shame and guilt??

[denuseri]

I never said that guilt and shame are the only emotions that help guide, but I am saying that such emotions stem from more of an instincual root than "social conditioning" and that people would like to think they are artifical concepts when in fact they are inheirentaly based.

For instance...its been medically shown that social paths have distinctive structural differences in their brains compared to people that do not exhibit such behaviors.

I think you are right.
