Morality

[Angrboda]

“It has been hard to find any correlation between moral reasoning and proactive moral behavior, such as helping other people. In fact, in most studies, none has been found.” - Michael Gazzaniga

That's a fascinating quote. Unfortunately it seems to leave open the question of whether moral intuitions are not based upon any reasoning whatsoever, both conscious and unconscious, or whether it's just an expression of the fact that unconscious reasoning about morals is privileged over that of explicit, conscious reasoning. If the latter is true, this doesn't lead to the place you seem to want to go with it.
