“Objective morality” is oxymoronic in the same way as “objective preference”. This statement that morality is an emergent property of physical reality is, to borrow a phrase so favored through endless misuse by religious apologists, a category error.
the tendency to formulate something like a system of morality may conceivable be an emergent property of cognating social beings. what individual instances of morality actually are, mostly certainly is chaotic and subject to massive perturbations by least differences in contingent input conditions.
So perhaps the only objective morality would be someone will beat you over the head with their pet notion of morality. what that morality itself would be as variable as children’s doodle.
