What makes you care about your son? What makes you have empathy for him, and not for others do you think?
I assume an absolute shit ton of evolutionary biology. I don't know if you've ever heard Joe Rogan talk about it, but he sums that up pretty well. Something just clicks, chemicals get shifted around, and the kid becomes priority numero uno. And that one is so powerful and has so much positive 'emotional rewards' that there's no reason to fight it.
