Oh OK, I’m sufficiently ignorant about philosophy that I may have unthinkingly mixed up various technically different claims like
“there is a fact of the matter about what is moral vs immoral”,
“reasonable intelligent agents, when reflecting about what to do, will tend to decide to do moral things”,
“whether things are moral vs immoral has nothing to do with random details about how human brains are constructed”,
“even non-social aliens with radically different instincts and drives and brains would find similar principles of morality, just as they would probably find similar laws of physics and math”.
I really only meant to disagree with that whole package lumped together, and maybe I described it wrong. If you advocate for the first of these without the others, I don’t have particularly strong feelings (…well, maybe the feeling of being confused and vaguely skeptical, but we don’t have to get into that).
