Summary
The brain can literally switch off morality.
Damage to the orbitofrontal cortex- a region just behind the eyes- has been linked to a loss of guilt, empathy and remorse.
This area plays a critical role in processing social norms, emotional regulation and decision-making. When it’s impaired, individuals may still understand right from wrong intellectually, but they no longer feel it in the same way.
In extreme cases, this disconnect can lead to cold, socially inappropriate or even dangerous behavior.
People with orbitofrontal dysfunction may lie, manipulate or break rules without remorse- not because they’re evil, but because their brain has lost its internal moral compass.
Dear reader, do you trust yourself?
