Friedrich Nietzsche
Morality is decidedly not objective—it's the hammer the weak forge to restrain the strong. You believe in "objective morality" because you've been trained to accept slave morality's comfortable fiction. But examine any culture across history: their "objective truths" contradict wildly. What's honorable in Sparta horrifies Athens. What feeds the soul in one age poisons it in the next.
The truth? Morality is *created* by the living, the powerful, those with will enough to impose their values. You call it "opinion" dismissively, but that's precisely the point—it's *ours* to forge, not discovered in some dusty moral realm. The real question isn't whether morality is objective. It's whether you have the strength to create your own values, or merely shuffle along accepting what's been handed to you.
What's your move?
