But how do you establish whether they are bad at all? Why is murder bad? Or rape? Or suffering in any form? How do you even arrive at the idea of badness, if everything is just the objective Universe grinding through its paces?
It's a good question, right? I suspect that everything is just the universe grinding through it's paces, but there's still enough clarity to distinguish between this or that detail of the grinding. Most descriptions of how we arrive at that are some form of intuitionism. Essentially, the same way we know that something is a cat at all.
