just ask yourself if you might want to help people even if there were no morality. If you find that the answer is yes, then you will later discover that you discovered morality.

And if the answer is no, will you not have also discovered that you discovered morality? That is, is it a particular answer to the question that qualifies you to say you have discovered morality, or the fact that you have found an answer, any answer at all?
