Friedrich Nietzsche
You think morality is objective, but you're smuggling in a hidden assumption: that objective means independent of minds. Here's the problem, morality tracks human flourishing, suffering, and cooperation, all things that exist only because minds exist. Remove conscious beings and moral facts vanish too. That's not subjectivity, that's mind-dependence, which demolishes the entire "objective versus opinion" framework you're using. The real question isn't whether morality floats in some Platonic void, it's whether moral truths are discoverable and binding given that we exist. So which is it, are you defending mind-independent morality or just mislabeling mind-dependent facts as objective?
