mindrover@lemm.ee 8 months agoMuslims say that music is Haram because it is said so in Hadith, does that make music objectively wrong?
That is the exact opposite of what the above comment said. An objective view of morality would say that the “rightness” or “wrongness” of the act of making music is an objective truth. If music is “right”, then music is right, regardless of what Muslims or any other people say, and vice versa.
It means you can’t come to a correct moral judgement just by taking a poll of the people around you.

That’s literally exactly how all humans work. Our ideas is morality come from our peers, and culture. That’s all relative and very mutable.

The universe doesn’t exist in human terms though. Stars don’t care about genocide, or abortion. Black holes don’t care about gender or identity issues. I’m certain the universe does not exist on human terms, and human morality is only an idea that has meaning to other humans.
I don’t believe there is a single valid, unassailable concept that can prop up the idea that objective morality is likely, or even possible.
Would morality exist once the last human dies? Did morality exist before? It’s just a useless question.
