This simply means that morality is a bit of a head-scratcher. The most obvious answer is that morality as commonly conceived doesn't exist. It's just an error to think that things are right or wrong independent of specific interests. The idea that there is good in the moral sense that isn't based on good in the sense of instrumental utility would just be an error.
I think I am starting to see where I went wrong. I basically said to myself, well if morality cannot come from evolution (biological evolution specifically) then evolution must come from a transcendent power. But my mistake is that I did not realize (very foolishly) that it could just have been a creation of social dynamics.
