In a comment to my last post WJM states:

if morality is subjective and there are no necessary consequences, why should I care about it? Why shouldn’t I just consider it an inhibiting evolutionary, emotional artifact (like any other emotion or feeling) and overcome its inhibiting interference with my capacity to act in this world for my own benefit?

I made similar arguments in:

Psychopath as Übermensch or Nietzsche at Columbine

Follow Up on Psychopath as Übermensch

The materialist response was large on howling outrage; small (as in “non-existent”) in logical rebuttal. Your statement is obviously true. Materialists deny it anyway. Add that to the list of truths you have to deny to be a materialist.
