The laws of physics and the laws of morality

Perhaps the law of the morality is the same as the law of physics and just as predictable, but with cause taking longer to take effect. Instead of an apple falling from the tree and on to the head of a scientist, we have historians arguing over when exactly the civilisation tripped over what when it was not looking, and when exactly it hit the ground and never got up again. 

[I dedicate this post to Jen Scharf to whom I addressed this question but who did not answer. But I have now answered my own question.]
