In what way is it a law though? I can ignore it, and nothing happens except what other humans do to me; which would happen anyway.
Laws are usually either rules that you get punished for breaking, or else they are "the way things work". I don't see how either of those applies. It only works that way in a circular fashion, if objective morality and his opinion are one and the same. If no reason is given for why his opinion is that way, why should I care about it?
As it happens I agree with some of the things commonly suggested as being "objectively moral/immoral", but not all. Does this mean I'm wrong if I disagree, and if so, what does it matter?
