Why do you think I think that?
Morality has a whole host of features. I have mentioned two that are widely agreed upon among moral philosophers (the normativity and rational authority of morality). I mentioned those two because they seem to me to be conceptual truths. In other words, I think they're non-negotiable. But there are other features as well. One is that morality is unified. There is morality, not moralities.
What sort of morals are unified?
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
