It is nonsensical to say morality is false. It is only sensible to say particular systems of morality is false, such as because it is inextricably tied to premise known to be as false as is reasonably possible to assert anything to be false.
Jettisoning of systems of morality based on false premise is not the same as jettisoning of morality, although it might be duplicitously asserted to be same by those whose vested interest is purely in the protection of the false premise.
I am not denying human experience. I am objecting to notion that a particularly disgraceful part of human experience, one which saw the subordination of just about everything else to the urge to be led by the nose toward cheap satisfaction the infantile craving for undeserved complacency, should be allowed to worm its way back to the top in the hierarchy respectability amongst of human institutions where it can once again subordinate productive human energy to sterile mental masterbation.
