That’s literally exactly how all humans work. Our ideas is morality come from our peers, and culture. That’s all relative and very mutable.
They sure do, we try very hard to get as close as we can to what an objectivist would consider ‘true’. But nothing in objectivism states that we will ever know what the objective moral truth is. How many stars are there within 100 million light years outside of the observable universe right now? We don’t know. We can’t know. But there still is a correct answer even though we don’t know it. Just as an astronomer might average the count of stars in a similarly sized region and make an estimate of the correct answer, humans will share ideas of morality and endlessly critique them in hopes of getting a closer approximation of what “moral truth” might be.
The universe doesn’t exist in human terms though. Stars don’t care about genocide, or abortion. Black holes don’t care about gender or identity issues. I’m certain the universe does not exist on human terms, and human morality is only an idea that has meaning to other humans.
I don’t believe there is a single valid, unassailable concept that can prop up the idea that objective morality is likely, or even possible.
Would morality exist once the last human dies? Did morality exist before? It’s just a useless question.
