> Of course, there are good psychological reasons for why it is a bad reason to throw away morality. If one's identity is tied to being a good person, doing bad acts in conflict with one's identity can cause a lot of distress. There is also a "hedonistic treadmill" where one gets used to more and more wealth, and how additional wealth at a certain point doesn't make someone happier. Lastly, there are society reasons for why morality is important (e.g. the Golden Rule as you wrote); a low-trust society where no one is moral is not a healthy society to live in.

These aren't counter arguments to what I said. They don't require concepts of objective good and evil, as I pointed out in my original comment and follow-up.
