The OP's off the rails.
Plausible, yes. At the same time, unless their is a reason to prefer empathy as the natural basis of morality, social dominance hierarchies and contempt are just a plausible.
I don't disagree, it happens to be the mechanism I prefer, but I do disagree with the hard stance taken by the OP.
(As you may recall, the point that the OP made that I took issue with was that a naturalist worldview could not account for morality. It can, and it appears that you think so as well.)
