What you comment is true but I don’t feel like it invalidates any of what I’ve written. (Insofar as I’m claiming we have solved something, it would be metaethics and not morality.) Regarding what to do in case of conflict, I have emphasized that thwarting others’ life goals by going outside the political and societal norms that we have is anti-social, disrespectful, uncooperative, selfish/non-altruistic, etc. To many people, this observation will have sufficient motivating force. If someone has strong anti-social tendencies and Machiavellian dispositions or worldview, they may not feel the same way, in which case there may not be a “gotcha” argument from morality that will just persuade them. But hopefully those of us I think of as the good ones can notice that and band together and prevent people like that from gaining too much influence and ruining things.
