My views on objective morality

[Whateverist]

What are you appreciating? When a person does a good deed, what do you appreciate? The person and that state he was in right.

I appreciate his/her thoughtfulness. I appreciate that they didn't have to take me into account but did so anyway. They become what I would call a thoughtful person but that is just a turn of phrase. It means exactly what it has always meant.

But then you say his action doesn't even become part of him aside from a memory and forming part of his psychology. So you don't believe it adds value to that person truly and objectively.

Becoming a part of his habits contributes to what we call his character, something relatively stable. More so than a passing mood at least. But "objectively" adds absolutely nothing to the discussion so far as I can tell. Subjective states are subjective by their nature but their existence is an objective fact, just not directly perceivable from the outside. They're private.

Also, why is actually good? If it's just survival chemicals making us feel good....what makes it truly good to do an action or praiseworthy? Do we appreciate and praise simply the act because of it's benefits or is there a substance of praise? An essence of praise and value, we are valuing in that act?

The mechanics of the neural and hormonal level underly and make possible our experience including all the subtle stuff you are getting at. Can't discuss further now. Doing taxes which are subjectively yucky though the consequences of not doing them are objective enough.
