Quote:the meaning of right and wrong, is based on whats good for humans.
Circular. You have defined a value statement as being equivalent to a value statement. Also, 'humans' are not a collective entity; specific humans have real, conflicting interests. A species, on the other hand, does not have interests, values, aims, or preferences.
"Philosophy would do well to desist from issuing any further injunctions about the need to re-establish the meaningfulness of existence, the purposefulness of life, or mend the shattered concord between man and nature. It should strive to be more than a sop to the pathetic twinge of human self-esteem. Nihilism is not an existential quandary but a speculative opportunity." - Ray Brassier
