Best actions suggest a moral fact or opinion...but are not, themselves, moral facts or opinions. They're, as you explained, a way to achieve parity with whatever you consider to -be- the moral fact of the matter. In any case, it sounds like you're completely sold on the idea of objective morality.
Transcending instinct and opinion in search of the greater good. Whatever underlies "the greater good" would be the moral fact of the matter, if there were any. What moral opinions or instincts do you think correlate to the greater good, if any...or do we need a whole new set? Also, do we need to transcend opinion or instinct if/when that opinion or instinct already correlates with the greater good?
