So they do make their moral choices, their best moral choices, it just that non of their choices include you (or anyone else) in the thought process.

Which is why I don't believe morality is subjective.

What I just described is the essence of subjective. You and the psychos have two different sets. And they ain't never gonna believe yours.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
