Hey, I just received a clap from someone on my comment above and I went to check it again.
Since I believe we both appreciate steelmanning approach, I took the liberty to add another comment here.
On your [2]:
There is a very example I learned at my university studies of sociology, that can back up my ‘subjectivity claim’.
I am not a moral relativist or trying to fond excuse, but always seek deeper meanings in things that are strange superficially.
Ok, a guy was convicted of trying to murder his 7-years old daughter. Never an offender, no problems, he just snapped. The sentenced him to electric chair.
A team of psychiatrists asked if they could examine him, as that was a strange unexplained behavior. To cut long story short, they did the scan and found a brain tumor in his prefrontal cortex, and opeeated on it. The guy woke up and explained his perspective of being aware of what he was doing, but could not stop himself.
Before that he was a loving father. And of course, he could not return to his family, but otherwise returned to normal life.
The point of this is - are we really sure, what happens in someone’s mind when they do such atrocities? Should he be electrocuted? How many were sentenced to die ‘by mistake’?
Hearing a few such cases, I realized we are often too quick to judge and find evil in others, not knowing the bigger picture.
Just my perspective…
Take care,
Borut
