What do you mean by real norms? Behavioral instincts that promote our survival are not real? There are 7.6+ billion of us alive today. Even with all the hostility and conflict in our history, Homo sapiens is the most populous mammal species on earth. That's because we instinctively create not just societies, but civilizations where we can flourish. Which is far more than just survival and reproduction. What could be more real?

I’m talking about the difference between a hypothetical imperative and a categorical imperative.
