I think there are some self-evident truths that we can justifiably believe like "Life" is intrinsically valuable that we can base morality and reason against. So the foundation of morality is based on something that does not need to be reasoned as its a justified assumption we make about the real world when it comes to morality that is true in of itself and we recognise a duty to uphold "Life" as valuable.In the attached video, at time stamp 9:44, the statement is made, "Moral behavior depends not on moral reasoning, but on having the right terminal goals."
To understand what he means by terminal goals, you'll have to watch the video. However, at another point he states a corollary that terminal goals are not found by reasoning. They just are.
My summary would be that he is saying morality is not found by reasoning. It just is.
If you disagree, what is your counter argument? Again, you'll probably have to watch the video to argue against his position ... though I suspect some will argue against it without watching. That'll be fun as well, but for different reasons.
