Well, humans are rule makers and tend to prefer general rules as opposed to lots of special cases. That implies we will prefer those systems, in the long run, based on fairness. We are also a social species, so we tend to prefer systems tending to compassion.

But yes, if you could get everyone to agree on a position, that position becomes moral. Since most people are basically decent, you won't get wife beaters or murderers being moral based on this.

This is also why morality changes over time.

So then you can’t judge/compare morality, based on a different basis? You really have no grounding to make moral judgement on another.
