There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.
You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.

That happens. There are checks and balances which have people investigate the murders and they might catch the killer, they might not.
Though murdering is a minority action for humans so while there are people who do murder, that isn't grounds for having someone decided how everyone lives their life.

Do you think someone should live their life in a way that doesn't involve murder?

You know, I have a big knife that I keep around for moral relativists like you. I tend to wave it their face and then ask, "I think it would be really good for me to put this knife into you, do you think I should?". If they answer no, I ask "why? should we not do what is good?" if they say yes, then I kill them and go about my day.
still not a reason to be found as to why I shouldn't kill you. I think it is good. If good is subjective, then there is no way for you to refute it. All you can say in response is, "are you really sure it's good?" at which point to defeat you I just repeat that it is. Moral realism wins because it allows us to actually start a conversation about what "Good" is.

Well I'm not a big fan of murder but murder isn't always a choice for some.With the news, in a way, all our lives are, indirectly at least, inolved with murder.
TV shows like Criminal Minds are based off murder.

I wonder if Cooldog would get banned if he stabbed Anna to death.
I guess he would if the mod team found out about it.

So "good" depends on what humans agree on, rather than an external objective truth(let us set aside the question of what that truth is for now)?
In a world where it was universally agreed on that sexism is good, is sexism suddenly good?
In society, the word "good" does indeed turn towards meaning what the majority thinks is true. Therefore, this would be the accepted meaning of "good", yes.
Personally, I believe that good things have no, or very sparce, physical and mental pain and prevent physical and mental pain. My votes in society reflect this. Everyone else's vote reflects their opinion. Generally democracy is the best current way to limit "physical" and "mental" pain
as long as it is a true democracy where no group is unable to vote and anyone gets a say.
Is this really the best idea? In the US, convicted felons are disallowed from voting. While sometimes this cn cause problems, I generally agree with this sentiment. Do you want a tax evader voting on tax issues? I don't.

What if I told you that a benevolent dictatorship system is even more flawed and is also unsustainable?
This is correct. IMO there is no "benevolent dictatorship". SOMEONE will abuse power.

And you were doing so good...
Why would someone abuse power? What cosmic law makes it so?
