Well, it isn’t the same as a morality that is written into the fabric of the universe or handed down on a stone tablet or something, but it is the “best” we have or could hope to have. (whatever “best” even means, in this case) It evaluates the same (or at least the Coherent Extrapolated Volition converges) for all psychologically healthy humans. But if someone has a damaged mind, or their species simply evolved a different set of values, then they would have their own morality, and you could no more argue human morals into them than you could into a rock.
How is there not a problem with that?
Well, it certainly is a little dissatisfying. It’s much better than the nihilistic alternative, though. However, those are coping problems, not problems with the logic itself. If the sky is green then I desire to believe that the sky is green.
