Are you referring to some hypothetical potentially real external agent who can tell us something about what to value?

Some people seem to have a strong meta-level intuition to that effect (i.e., that they ought to value what God wants them to value, or do what God wants them to do). I personally don't, but I listed it so that the outline can cover other people as well as myself.

Ah, I see, thanks for the explanation.
