Ok, 1 like = 1 opinion on “judging people”. Good prompt @vgr, lots of stuff here.https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1206317704157642752 …
Oh ok. Technically you can believe there are “atoms of goodness” out there in the world but not believe those depend on social opinion. Eg a theist may think God’s will is objective even if everyone is wrong about it.

I additionally think that people originally get ideas about these “atoms of goodness” *from* social opinions; I think gods were originally modeled off of people, etc. you’re right, that’s a separate claim, not a logical entailment.

Even if atoms of goodness are culturally or socially defined, that still allows for very wide departure between what someone might think and what the social consensus would determine given full information, self-reflection, etc.
