Hello, Anyone interested in a debate?

However, I would not state there is no big-M "morality."  Just as theory of general relativity needs an absolute maximum which all are relative to if not relative to anything else (the speed of light) so to is there some absolute maximum of morality that all subjective morality is held as being relative to.

The difference is that in relativity, the terms are defined: gravity is gravity, space is space, etc. In "morality," the term is not defined, and so while there may be an objective truth for each possible definition, there is no over-arching objective truth that applies to all definitions.

Definitions of "morality" that are good but will lead to a different "objective" truth:
-That is moral which serves the greatest good.
-That is moral which reduces suffering.
-That is moral which tends toward equality among members of a community.
-That is moral which minimizes the negative impact of humanity on the world.

There probably is a behavior, in any context, which would maximally cohere to any one of these definitions. There is probably not a behavior, in any context, which would maximally cohere to all of them. Therefore, what is moral is dependent not on an objective truth, but on a choice of semantics.
