RE: Moral Acts

There are many objective ways of assessing wellbeing. I'm saying that it doesn't mean anything to say one of them is "right". What could that possibly mean? I literally have no idea. How are we comparing expected lifespan, pleasure, healthiness, freedom... how can you possibly give them "correct" weightings?

Let's say all our opinions are wrong, and we somehow discover that it's a moral fact that rape is "right".

What does that even mean, what does it matter, and would it affect anyone's actions? Would you adjust your opinion to line up with this "fact"?
