The highest standard would be 'virtue'.

 

You discover these virtuous principles as you learn self knowledge.

 

Each individual may have different things to learn about themselves, but principally they are the same as a whole.

Ideal standards are the standards that promote the highest level of cooperative behavior amongst rational entities.  The discovery of these standards is performed by thinking rationally about the true nature of events.  By using past information and integrating that into a consistent picture of the universe, objective judgements can be made that don't rely on an individual perspective.  This information produces actions based a value system that is intrinsic within us.  If those values come from adhering to a set of principles that are aligned with truth then our actions will be consistent as well.
