This simply pushes the question back: why should I care about human flourishing?
The only answer is because I care for my own interest - so just cut out the middle-man and ask what do I prefer. Hence ethics is just my personal preference. It just so happens that I prefer, generally, human flourishing for my own best interest (whether practical or emotional).
Ethics boils down to preference and then expediency (what best accomplishes my desires). Anything else is pointless addition or rhetoric.
