If you can’t produce evidence that moral progress ever happened and believe that it definitely hasn’t happened in the recent past, why do you think that moral progress is a coherent concept?
I didn’t say I had great confidence in moral progress being a coherent concept. But it seems plausible to me that acquiring more true beliefs and thinking about them clearly might lead to discovering some values are incoherent or unreachable and thus stop pursuing them.
