The thing is though we don't have to prove to people which objective goal is the right one for there to be objective goals. Sam Harris' point is that if steering away from the worst possible misery for everyone isn't important to someone then it should be. If good and bad should be about anything at all it should at least be about that. He doesn't need to prove objectively that that is the worthy goal. It is merely that that goal has objective answers in principle.
