More mystifying perhaps.
If the notion that we shouldn’t be doing something is the moral bad making property.
Well
I shouldn’t strip a screw. I shouldn’t put a fork in a microwave. I shouldn’t piss into the wind.
All of the above must be morally bad, correct?
Putting the normatives ahead of the content, and omitting the necessary evaluative premises inevitably turns a moral system into the idiocy above. Where hurting people is bad for the same reason and like stripping a screw, putting forks in the microwave, and pissing into the wind.
So I guess we can add it to the pile. Acro is an arbitrary supernatural subjective command theorist. “Bad” is whatever god happens to determine that we shouldn’t do.
