Interesting show. I’ve undertaken my own effort for the greater good ( http://TeamHuman.org  ) and have often wondered about the origins of my motivation. I think it is a basic human instinct, and I applaud your efforts to help us understand it scientifically and find ways to encourage it more broadly among our ranks.
Also of interest: What do you think about this recent article the provides some insight into how our brain makes moral judgements?:
