I don’t see much difference between “right” and “proper”.
He could also mean that we have to argue about states of the world.
But what else would we argue about, normatively? Abstract concepts, say, like “drugs are bad”. But then I would agree with him.
So I think we agree.
Again, I don’t follow you.
So perhaps he is saying that people should argue over the proper state of the world and not over the right XYZ, for some concept XYZ.
For instance, people should argue over the proper state of the world, not the right flavor of ice cream.
That is a true statement, there is certainly no objective right flavor of ice cream.
It is the most reasonable explanation I can come up with.
