Saying that something isn’t objectively quantifiable (like morality)

isn’t a value judgement on it

Subjectively the morality of your example is abhorrent, but objectively you cannot, cannot , cannot! quantity it! Morality only exists in our minds! That doesn’t make it any less meaningful, but it makes it

not

objective

So you also say that mathematics is subjective?

  You can quantity maths. It’s the prime example of something objective and quantifiable. No I’m clearly not saying that.
  
  What I mean with “exists only in our minds” is that it isn’t some externally measurable thing. There is no moralometer which can measure the morality of an action. It only exists to us, humans. That makes it subjective.
  
  If you’re wondering about the meaning of the previous comment it is to clarify that saying there are no objective moral truths doesn’t mean I am dismissing morality. It just means that objectivity isn’t applicable to it.
