What’s ‘objective’ about morality doesn’t take the form of moral commandments aka ‘the 10 commandments’, nor does it take the form of an optimization function that produces the commandments either.
There’s a thrid possibility, one you’ve over-looked, that is, in fact, the objective compoenent of morality: namely purely abstract archetypes or moral ideals (ie beauty, freedom, virtue). These objective platonic abstractions are not in the form of commandments, and they’re not optimization functions either. The objective component of morality built into the universe doesn’t tell me to do anything. It’s just a lot of abstract archetypes.
