Moral principles are relatively obvious – in the via negativa
and demonstrably universal. That’s something we’ve learned empirically over time. Especially in international law..

Moral NORMS in the via positiva are historically just utilitarian given the group strategy of the people. Mostly, civilizational differences in positive norms are due to the trust and trustworthiness of the people. Which in turn is largely due to absence of heterogeniety on one dimension and absence of corruption on the other.

Positive moral principles are also identifiable and while it took quite a bit of work to prove, are rather simple in the end.

So just as we are learning the most parsimonious science we are learning the most parsimonious morality. Its just that some people don’t like tthe truth. They like their immorality.
