I think that appeals to naturalism don’t work either. They still have a category we can’t explain, the nature of oughtness or obligation that fixes to some natural sorts and not others. Also the notion my actions and character ought to be positively appraised if I do some and commended, but disapproved of and potentially punished for others. How that works is still of a nature that is unlike anything else we know and is at base an appeal to intuition for something we have no real evidence of.
I do appeal to natural facts, but admit that they are simply my preferences. I prefer certain states to others and would act like anyone else to see those states enacted. That may mean I am functionally ambivalent to them so I don’t vote or campaign for them but still would like to see them, or it may mean that I step in on occasion and voice my disapproval or approval and hope others will follow.
