I keep trying to tell you that the way that the terms subjective and objective are used in moral theory don;t refer to whether or not they are your opinions. You have opinions I have opinions we all have opinions. Everything I;m about to say to you can, in the sense that you're using the word subjective, be reduced to an opinion. This tells us nothing.
Do some of them relate to facts? Do you base your moral opinion of livestock processing on facts?
And I keep trying to tell you that an objective fact can be measured without the use of brain based personal feelings, tastes or opinions.
You can't do this for morality.
Even if you were to use a machine learning approach to recognise neural firing patterns, you would still have to use those brain based personal feelings, tastes and opinions to train it on what was right or wrong.
