I’m very confused how the categorical imperative is supposed to be relevant here. I don’t see how the bit you’ve highlighted relates to it at all.
I think you’ve misread what I’m saying. I am not trying to define that as a norm. I am pointing it out as an important consideration, not a definition.
More generally, I’m not trying to define anything as a norm. As I stated above, what I’m trying to do is not define new norms—certainly not from any sort of first principles—but to make some tiny initial progress towards making explicit the norms that already exist. Which, as you say, vary, but I can at least speak to what I’ve seen. The numbered points above are, as I said, considerations that I think need to be accounted for, and I think failing to account for those points is a big reason previous attempts have failed and ended up somewhere near “classical liberal” or “nerd”, neither of which is at all close to the actual norms anywhere.
