I'm not talking specifically about that. Mainly what I'm wondering is what exactly motivated you to say "can't see how ..." in the first place. What makes a measure of progress that you choose (or is chosen based on some coherent subset of human moral values, etc.) somehow ... less valid? not worthy of being used? something else?
It's possible we're violently agreeing here. By my own moral standards, and by yours, there has definitely been moral progress. Since there are no "higher" moral standards against which ours can be compared, there's no way for my feelings about it to be found objectively wanting.
