As I have pointed out about three times, the comparison with chess was to make a point about obligation, not to make a point about arbitrariness
the only evidence you’ve given is that in societies with a given moral system people who don’t abide by that moral system suffer.
I never gave that, that was someone else characterisation. What I said was that it is an anaytlcal trtuth that morality is where the evaluative buck stops.
I don’t know what you mean by the naive in naive realism. It is a a central characteristic of any kind of realism that you can have truth beyond conventional belief. The idea that there is more to morality than what a particular society wants to punish is a coherent one. It is better as morality, because subjectivism is too subject to get-out clauses. It is better as an explanation, because it can explain how de facto morality in societies and individuals can be overturned for something better.
