It doesn’t matter whether I agree or disagree with a person that decides they should do wrong. They’re not my goals, and their idea that they should do wrong doesn’t imperil moral realism in any way. I wouldn’t make doing bad a goal, but that’s just me.
Of course it does. The terms good and bad in a moral sense, have no real meaning outside of some goal. Just like the goodness and badness of pizza in my example have no meaning outside of my taste. You want to foolishly hide this fact, the way I want to hide the role of taste in my Pizza Realism example.
Harm is bad.
What does bad mean? It means harm.
Harm is Harm.
What does calling harm "bad" add? What meaning does the word "bad" provide to "harm", when used as a qualifier. No meaning.
