Scientific and technological progress comes from the refusal to accept the intersubjective consensus - the current orthodoxy. It comes from observing reality as it really is - not as it's supposed to be.
Consensus theories of truth and knowledge are patently ridiculous and easily refuted - as is moral cognitivism.
Strawman again;
I did not emphasize this "Consensus theories of truth and knowledge" plainly or whatever is supposed to be without empirical verification and justification.
In Science,
1. there must be the scientific FSK in place.
2. A hypothesis is raised.
3. Empirical observations and evidence are collected based on the standard scientific methods.
4. If the evidence correspond with the hypothesis, the thesis is then considered verified and justified.
5. Then the thesis is subjected to peer review, an only accepted as an objective scientific theory /knowledge /truth upon sufficient consensus from the recognized peers.
Of course, consensus alone will not qualify a thesis as an objective scientific theory or knowledge.
What I claimed as objective moral facts must first be verified and justified within the scientific FSK via process 1-5 above, then conditioned upon the specific Moral FSK to be recognized as an objective moral fact.
Note it is not all talks but whatever is recognized as an objective moral fact must be able to translate to moral utilities.
The objective moral fact, the ought-not-ness-to-kill-humans is a standard to guide individuals not to kill humans and to achieve the theoretical possible ZERO killings of humans by humans in the future.
In practice it may not be possible to achieve ZERO but such a factual standard will guide individuals to continually improve toward and be as close as possible to the target.
On the other hand, you are expecting all individuals to be sitting ducks to be killed by evil prone killers as in the past, now and into the future.
