| 520 | |a Ignorance of the costs and benefits of actions, like aiding someone in distress without thinking twice, is a reliable moral signal of altruism and trustworthiness - such actions, performed while ignorant, risk incurring costs with little or no benefit.

And finally, it stresses how reliable self-signals increase the likelihood that those who are benevolent, in the present, will act comparably in the future - moral identity motivates future moral action, and reliable signals shape that identity. | ||
