No! The problem is not reductionism, or that morality is or isn’t about my brain! The problem is that what morality actually computes is “What should you feel-moral about in order to maximize your genetic fitness in the ancestral environment?”. Unlike math, which is more like “What axioms should you use in order to develop a system that helps you in making a bridge?” or “What axioms should you use in order to get funny results?”. I care about bridges and fun, not genetic fitness.
Actually, “Whatever turns y’all on” is a pretty damn good morality. Because it makes sense on an intuitive level (it looks like what selfishness would be if other people were you). Because it doesn’t care too much where your mind comes from, as it maximizes whatever turns you on. Because it mostly adds up to normality. Possibly because it’s what I used, so I’m biased. Though I don’t think you quite get normality - killing is a minor offense here, because people don’t get to experience it.
