History. Over time we've discovered better objective standards for morality.
I'm sorry, I might be missing something here, but I don't get your first sentence. I'm having the weirdest sense of deja vu here.

Second, what objective standards? We just exited a century where the amount of humans killed by other humans exceeded the total of all other centuries combined. I've heard this argument before and it doesn't sit with me at all. Are you telling me that Plato's philosophical standards for a just society are somehow inferior morally?
