Half of what you're talking about is just internalized theory.
>Stabbing an innocent person is wrong because any person who isn't a psychopath could tell you its wrong, because no one wants to get stabbed
Look at pic-related. 99% of human history is total savagery, not because people were born psychopaths but because they did not develop a theory of right and wrong. The Golden Rule? Theory.
>The world I live in is pretty nice all things considered. Sure it has its problems, but its a lot better than it was 100 years ago.
The world is nice because of technology and the rule of law. The rule of law applies consistent, universal (theory-based) rules. However there are also many inconsistent parts of society that result in injustice and suffering.
>And much of the problems we do have are the fault of over reaching absolute theory.
No, it's the fault of over reaching statism/collectivism.
>People figured out murder was wrong before written language or the concept of theory existed.
Theory doesn't require writing. All abstractions are theory.
