In other words, if morality is merely a cultural construct, then being "moral" is nothing to aspire to and there is no reason whatsoever for "morality" to serve as any kind of guide for human action.

In the vast majority of cases, aspiring to conform to an established and universal social construct is ingrained in our physiological and psychological makeups. Objectivity is not an absolute, but a shifting and adapting framework defined and propagated by humans.
