I see no reason why you couldn't view normal morality as either subjective or as objective.  If I develop a moral idea, and you watch me doing it equipped with an fMRI or whatever, then it's a matter of chosen perspective, not of establishing that it must be one or the other.

This is not quantum mechanics, which is something I can't even begin to make any educated assertions about and I doubt you can either. This is a plain logical negation argument, which you are blatantly violating. Do you understand the basis of logic?

I don't care too much which side of the subjective/objective argument you are going for (although I have my own opinion about that). Just at least pick one.

I drink hot chocolate.  I experience what the hot chocolate is like.  My brain is doing stuff, which is physical stuff, and the physical process can (to a degree) be observed-- there's brain activity happening.  So it's both subjective and objective.
