They're neither objective nor subjective, as I said before. They're dependent on the particular society and time, as I said several dozens of pages before. They're simply rules to live together with the least amount of friction. I see nothing philosophical in that fundamental truth. It's nature at work, the same way as it ingrained rules in a pack of wolves or chimps. The only dfference being, far as we can tell, that we are the only ones being able to jerk off in front of a mirror over it.
