"... So we do need some guidance and direction from the levels above."
I think about this a lot myself. He's right, that there has to be something above us. But that something cannot physically or philosophically be us.
It is objective morality that we need to be in line with. That's what needs to be over us. What is over us, whether we like it or not.
The dude is right, but he needs to stop looking to man for that guidance.
