Well, it would be nice if we happened to live in a universe where we could all agree on an agent-neutral definition of what the best actions to take in each situation are. It seems to be that we don’t live in such a universe, and that our ethical intuitions are indeed sort of arbitrarily created by evolution. So I agree we don’t need to mathematically justify these things (and maybe it’s impossible) but I wish we could!
