What I mean is, if you look at the two statements below:
Harm is bad.
Harm is good.
One of them is almost true by definition. The other no rational person would agree can make sense. It's certainly not practical at least. Imagine a world in which the standard is harm is good.
Yes, in real life, things get really complicated but at the core the first statement just seems self-evident.
We can add a variety of other things here as well.
Kindness is good
Cruelty is bad.
Justice is good, fairness is good, injustice unfairness is bad.
Love is good.
Hatred is bad.
Selflessness is good
Selfishness is bad.
Honesty is good
Dishonesty is bad.
Truth is good.
Lies and falsehoods are bad.
Imagine a world in which thing labeled bad here, were good?
The core of these statements seem self evident.
