A mechanism for... what, exactly?

No one can even coherently define what "objective morality" would mean, let alone provide evidence that it exists. This entire thread stands as testament to that.

Morality is a value system. All value judgments are inherently subjective. "Objective morality" is a nonsense phrase.
