    Goals and priorities might differ a lot between an ant and a human but not so much between two humans. At least not enough to not get at least a few rules for behavior.

      Just because its easy to get a bunch of humans to agree say murder is wrong, doesn’t mean you can call that objective.

      The reason humans and ants differ so much in morality is because of the difference in the subjective experience of being a person versus being an ant.

      If morality is subjective, you’d expect creatures with similar subjective experiences to agree with each other.

      You’d expect one subjective blob of rules to conform to human biology/sociology and a separate blob of subjective rules to apply to antkind with no real way to interface between the two.
