According to the author, focusing moral enhancement on moral traits such as altruism can lead to long-term problematic consequences. In particular, individuals whose altruistic capacities have been enhanced could be more easily exploited by non-cooperative individuals. To overcome this problem, Fabiano stated that a balanced moral enhancement would be necessary to enable individuals to have the capabilities to carry out punitive behaviours that penalise free-riders\u2019 behaviour. However, Jon Rueda argues that seeing morally enhanced people as easy to deceive is problematic and that free-riders\u2019 behaviour should be limited by institutional design rather than depending on their fellow citizens\u2019 moral traits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-4197 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/wpd.ugr.es\/~filolab\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Jon-Rueda-Flanders-300x107.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"575\" height=\"205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpd.ugr.es\/~filolab\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Jon-Rueda-Flanders-300x107.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wpd.ugr.es\/~filolab\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Jon-Rueda-Flanders-1024x365.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wpd.ugr.es\/~filolab\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Jon-Rueda-Flanders-768x274.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpd.ugr.es\/~filolab\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Jon-Rueda-Flanders-1536x548.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wpd.ugr.es\/~filolab\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Jon-Rueda-Flanders.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jon Rueda, researcher at FiloLab, has recently published an Open Peer Commentary entitled \u2018Enhancing Virtue without Becoming Ned Flanders?\u2019, in the journal AJOB Neuroscience.
