Clearly if
you believe that
you are the only person who exists and that there are no other people except
you in the world, it will be an exercise in futility for me to respond anymore. Once
you acknowledge the fact that there are others in the world and that you, like they, are both human, then suddenly what you want for yourself has great bearing on whether morality is objective or not.
Obviously a person who is hell-bent on subjectivity is living inside too small of a box to see anything beyond his own walls.
