Are there any good arguments in defence of moral nihilism? I think not.

It is quite possible that we will soon come to live under some sort of global despotism, enlightened or not. This is not a nice prospect. And there is only one way of avoiding that this happens: to establish a global democracy. And it is not too late to strive for such a democracy, of a straightforward populist nature, where people on the globe elect a world parliament, which in turn elects a world government.

It is of note that for a long time moral nihilism was a kind of unquestioned default position in analytic moral philosophy.

The possibility to go on indefinitely with our lives may become a reality and it will present us with a temptation.

I am indeed a moral realist.

Utilitarianism condones killing of innocent human beings, even murder, if it makes the world a better place.

The democratic thought is based on that 'ordinary people' are suitable to rule themselves.
