"I think you yearn for absolute morality. That's ok, we all do to varying extents"

I think syllogism's preference is for unbiased morality.

Yearns is in quotes because he decided on his ethics before deciding he cared. his reasoning probably has nothing to do with yearning or similiar, as you seem to be implying.

also "That's ok, we all do to varying extents" I don't think it is. i think it's silly, and there are almost certainly people who don't (and they count). "absolute morality" in the sense "objectively (universally) right" shouldn't even parse

An unbiased morality may be one centred on cheesecake.
