Why do you think that they will naturally end up in completely different places? Would you care to explain?

everyone’s moral compass is tuned to them, when they release themselves from societal values; not everyone’s going to head in the same direction

What if they did end up in the same direction? "Society" is a phantom. Necessity however remains true for each individual as well as families, communities, entire cultures and species. Perhaps a release from the phantom and subsequent acknowledgement of an objective standard can guide people toward the same place-- morally speaking?
