I'd really like to know what these folks are thinking. Are they using 'morality' in the way Nietzsche did when he called himself an amoralist? Or do they really think there's nothing to the concepts of 'good/bad' and 'right/wrong'?
Supposing one wants to open a pickle jar, and one considers the acts of (a)twisting the top until it comes off, (b)smashing the jar with a hammer, and (c) cutting off one's own hand with a chainsaw, do these folks think (for instance) that (a) is no better than (c)?
I would guess that they would say that one can certainly have preferences, without there being anything worth calling "morality".
