"everything I care about" or "everything Will cares about", etc.
That is, in fact, a useful category to draw.
It's a useful category to draw because you believe certain moral facts (that those are the correct things to care about)
The category, the definition, is just a manifestation of the moral beliefs. It is, in fact, exactly isomorphic to those beliefs, otherwise it wouldn't be useful. So why not just talk about the beliefs?
It's not quite the same as my moral beliefs. My moral beliefs are what I think I care about. Goodness refers to what I actually care about.
That being said, there's no reason why my moral beliefs have to be defined in some clean and simple way. In fact, they probably aren't.
But "what you actually care about" is defined as what your moral beliefs would be if you had more information, more intelligence, etc.
So what are your moral beliefs actually about? Are they beliefs about more beliefs?
