Krimel,

Saying we are born with morality we cannot change is biological quality,
saying how morals function as a result of societal pressure, which Shermer
is clearly speaking of, is social quality; but choosing morals, regardless
of society and overriding your gut feeling of morality is intellectual
quality.

Micah,

Actually since he is saying morality is something we are born with, I would
call it biological quality. But then I have never thought that line was
clearly drawn. The intellectual quality of morality would be little more
than gingerbread on the headboat.

SA,

There are morals of intellectual quality, social quality, and biological
quality.  Shermer's is a study of social quality morals.
