No, I'm explaining to you how something cannot be both objective and subjective at the same time and what the difference is between the two terms. I haven't made an argument here about which I think morality falls under (though I have in other threads).
Subject means "viewer" and object means "that which is viewed." Obviously, in our universe, all viewers are also able to be viewed, unless you are saying that there's an ineffable soul or something like that.
It is only in one particular subject-object relationship that you can claim unique identity in the way that you are. You can say, "I'm not aware of my own brain function, so my ideas are purely subjective. . . to me." But your ideas are purely objective to anybody else.
See? It's a matter of perspective, not of the "real truth."
