In nature there is no "morally neutral" or "virtuous". Morality is a social construct. Advantageous? Yes. Virtuous? Nature stares at you, blinking.

- rayiner 13y agoI agree with morality being a social construct. But to the extent that we project onto nature as humans, we find virtuous the efficient killers. We respect eagles and lions. And arguably engaging in the most advantageous behavior is virtuous in a way, in the broadest sense of the term.
