In which case the first-person things would be subjective, while the third-person are objective. For the sake of this discussion, anyway; I'm fairly sure that if you clarified, there would be more nuance necessary, but I don't really care at the moment.

Your snideness is noted, but I have to point out the lack of actual objection to the point.
Value systems are inherently subjective. The idea of an objective value system is incoherent.
If you disagree, then you can supply a coherent definition for "objective morality".

Not a value system, no.
