    Claiming morality is objective, requires a moral judgement for one rock falling on another and crushing it.

      Can “it doesn’t matter” exist on a moral spectrum? I guess if you had an “objective moral framework” that has a tertiary category for “morally neutral” then can it morally judge one rock crushing another as “neutral” / “not my jurisdiction”?

      oh, and if we had that framework and applied it to rocks and they didn’t object, could we then assume they’re cool with it, or at least ambivalent towards it?

            Then it’s not objective. It’s subjective to attributes of what’s involved.

                  If you mean subjective because humans are the only organism that can communicate and understand. You can’t apply moral laws to inanimate objects or non human. So subjective in the sense that only our species has it. But, objective in that every mentally well member of our species has the ability to objectively identify a moral evil.

                    Objective, is independent of interpretation or even observation.

                    Using morality and objective together, means you’re using at least one of those words wrong.
