They’re not in a teleological view. If human being like watches poses an intrinsic purpose (a telos), like humans beings ought to be good, the way watches ought to tell time. That goal at least in terms of us, is not subjective.
Moral language is built on such teleological assumptions, that most of us when making moral statements are basing it on.
You on the other hand reject such teleological assumptions, and indicate that what you mean by an oughts is some subjective goal of yours, something you wish I subscribe to.
Your entire moral foundation is built on this subjective goal? What you try and sell us an objective is just sexed up subjectivism, subjectivism all the way down.
You just conceal it by trying to sweep the ought under the rug, and try to dishonestly reframe moral statements as descriptive rather than normative.
