My response to Yazata on Moral Realism

2. Moral realism is true -

That seems to me to be false as well.

Humans do seem to be pretty much on the same page as far as basic social instincts go. Most of us feel compassion, have a sense of fairness and reciprocity, and the abiity to "mind-read" others of our kind so as to intuit their emotional states.

But other than that, whatever moral ideas are built atop it are all over the map.

The video implicitly acknowledges that by saying...
You seem to think that the immaterial influence of a moral or immoral sight is not objective, when it is. For example, there are undeniable effects of an immoral image, or better yet, evil image that demonstrates that there is indeed a metaphysical element that goes beyond the material or concrete or phenomenal events associated with the image. A person's beliefs have real subjective impact and in the Quantum realm, the subjective IS the objective inside out and has influence on the wavefunction!

You lost your claim to realism when you mentioned metaphysical
