Not sure I understand the question
It's in OPs question.
What do you believe that stand on authority alone.
What is the nature of the authority that your belief stands on. What gives that authority authority?

Standing still gives the world control and adds to your own uncertainty. Going back is physically impossible. All you can do is move forward.

That humanity overall gets better and more moral over time.
It's really interesting if you get into the history of it, but There are plenty of historical records that actually show that the past wasn't as horrific as we imagine it to be. Partially because people like to look at the past as terrible to make themselves feel better about the present.
I'm not convinced that there is any real evidence that shows that over time humanity gets morally better, but I like to believe in it, because otherwise it makes me think we should all die
️And just to clarify, I don't mean just actions but also intent. For example, these days we have democracies that have more complex laws to protect people's rights and therefore it's harder to cause the same kind of harm that could have been happening under a kingdom. But at the same time, now we have stuff like factory farmings and wars that lead to millions and tens of millions of deaths and pandemics that are not stopped properly because of conspiracy theories, etc.
You can’t really measure morality like that. It’s like I look through a library and decide that the library has more sci-fi books than they did earlier because I walked to the sci-fi section. Our modern view of morality is in-line with modern morality. People 200 years ago would have considered themselves just as moral as we consider ourself now.

If there are no universal truths, then that would be a universal truth, self contradicting

As few as possible.
