That quote is breaking my ADD brain.
I agree that freedom does not necessarily lead to virtue.
The situation I had in mind with my original post is the instictual clawing over each other to survive, where our capacity for rational thought is short-circuited by the lizard brain struggling to get one more breath.
Remove a pile of clawing humans from a situation where most of them must surely drown, and instead give them some tasty BBQ, and I bet friendliness increases.
