I’m not quite sure how that works, honestly.

What do you mean? This duty is... intrinsic, I guess, once you have multiple sapient beings around. If there were only one sapient, that would be different, but there are 7+ billion of them.

If you are going to claim that duties are intrinsic, we are going to have problems, because said intrinicality relies upon everyone agreeing that it is so. Furthermore, I could say that we have an intrinsic duty to kill our fellow man, and if the only argument is one of intrinsicality, then we are logically equivalent.
