You can make the decision to steal, and maybe you'll get away with it, and maybe you won't feel guilty, and maybe some key components of our ingenuity and our progress was made in reaction to immoral people, making them beneficial to society after all, which may account for their persistance along with a few bad seeds not being a threat to the overall persistance of our species, but I doubt you'd get away with it, and I doubt you wouldn't have a negative emotional reaction to it, and I doubt you would cause a rethinking in society. The most intangible aspect about this scenario would be your guilty conscience (or the lack of). I suspect that evolved in the same way sexual selection has. Which would mean one reason we shouldn't act immorally is because we will feel bad. Is that avoidable?
