Is there objective morality? 


This article is a work in progress. I keep coming back to it, adding, removing, rewriting, as I keep developing my worldview and think more about reality and consciousness. My premise is that consciousness is fundamental and it creates reality

No, I don’t think there is such a thing as objective reality because philosophically, I don’t think there is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’. They are human concepts.

In the grander scheme of reality, of existence, humanity is a microscopic spec. What might seem right or wrong to a person, in the grand scheme, it has no meaning. Everything only “is”. They are two ends of a spectrum. It is linear thinking. I don’t think reality is linear. 

One can only exist because of the other. It’s the metaphorical “two sides of the same coin”. 

We think of black and white, dark and light. 

But darkness is merely the absence of light

Warm and cold

Up and down

Left and right

Reality sits in the middle. 

Things only exist in relation to something else. 

To say that one thing is better than the other says more about the object than about the subject. 

So morality is always subjective.

” Objectivity is the delusion that observations could be made without an observer” – Heinz von Foerster
