I agree that morals are relative. However I think pretty much the entire world would say that this is the most moral we have ever been. And if you go back and follow history for the 12,000 years since we started down this path, you can see that we increasingly became more moral as we learned more.

And modern-day morality that most of us agree about e.g. no slavery, or torture, or segregation, or racism or misogyny are here to stay. But they are all very recent developments in our history, but nobody would argue that we want to go back to any of those previous behaviors.

So we all agree on some points of morality, even if we can't define them..
