"Ethics should rather be focused on what we all want and equitable conflict resolution."
Whence "should"? Why "equitable"? Why care about what everyone wants?
You trying to dominate somebody with these normative assertions?

Because anyone could be in anyone else's situation. You want norms that don't fuck you when you draw the short end of the stick.

I'm literally and transparently trying to convince you to do what I want.
Didn’t work. Partially because I don’t understand it.
Not necessarily. You’re claiming your worldview as universal.
It’s easy to imagine an ethics where strength and power are virtues and weakness is a moral failing, and the strong owe nothing to the weak.
So you're fine with a system where anyone is allowed to kidnap and torture you? That's in your interest? No, I didn't think so and you agree with me.
