What about this shot at an objective morality?

Metamorality: Morality is by definition good. For morality to exist, there
has to be something. Morality cannot exist in nothing. Before the big bang
there was no universe, thus no morality.

Morality: Anything that makes the universe exist longer and fights the
entropy is moral. The highest form of morality is whatever increases
extropy.

Couldn't it be as simple as that?
