Another way of putting it: explain to a being in another reality, who doesn't care about anything in our reality, why one of us raping another is "wrong".

You have to care in the first place, before "wrong" takes any meaning.

Edit: I have no idea what you're talking about, I'm going to have to think on it Smile

What is a moral fact? I'm saying this is a contradiction in terms. You're already assuming it's about wellbeing, and then assuming there's a 'correct' way to assess effects on it. You're saying there's a metric out there which is the "right" one. But right according to... who? The universe?
