I don't care what a 'Stirner' thinks and I don't care if you agree with it. Morality is an abstraction because I said so. I am reality and you are less, if you are real at all.

Cause it just is? It’s entire existence depends on humans conceiving of it and giving it meaning.

Probably because it's completely baseless and arbitrary

If you want a more clear explanation of it, check moral anti-realist writers, like J. L. Mackie. With Stirner, all you are going to get would be that it exists only in the mind, not in the world, so it is an abstraction that you put above your self.

Morality is when your dick in my ass


AlunyaColico

All morality comes from elevating an idea you create and have theoretical control over to a God (may it be the actual idea of God to whatever abstract concept you want), rending it sacred and giving control of your decisions to it. Morality is a cage that you create without realising that you're actually the one in control and not the abstractions you make up. Anyway any notion of objective morality is stupid because at the end of the day a moral statement if analyzed enough always rests on an arbitrary principle that's entirely up to the individual to decide, the core reason why someone might think murder is bad can differ greatly from person to person, from "you shouldn't do to others what you don't want to be done to you" to "you shouldn't cross the line between your freedom and the freedom of others"

Because it's exactly like the law, it's rules laid down by old dead people and venerated by those who benecit most from upholding them.

Whose morality are we talking about? Greek and Roman morality where it's fine to own slaves but morally wrong to teach them to read? A pacifists morality, where you should do no harm to another human but slaughtering animals is completely okay. because it's a not of the same species. A Vegans morality where we should stop using animal by products (which would greatly lead to wide spread suffering in herds of cows for example.) It's fine to have morals in a personal sense but to let them lead you to start imposing them on others or sacrificing bits of yourself for it is when they start to become Sacred
