Why? Certainly "should" is not a trivial concept, but refusing to use it entirely costs a lot in simplicity of expression, in exchange for a slight increase in clarity.
Explain to me what should means.
The long version is contained in the metaethics sequence, which I broadly agree with.
To noughth order, though, "should" means "satisfies my utility function, which is partly shared by you and others."
