ABRIDGED
An artificial moral construct perceived or otherwise, provides an allusion of control which does not preclude moral and self judgement. Despite artificial laws, it would be priceless indeed, if such a truth be found in a world without free will; realities and therefore truths are otherwise different in a world of free will and . - clearair1... Roisin O
MENTION
ỉη ץ٥ڵ and los in practical application but insufficiently elaborated to provide viable countenance to the theoretical propositions.
DECISION
Both positions (clearair1..and Roisin O) are equally valid in their own direction.

- clearair1234’s answer is direct and concise. (With a finality of sorts.)
- Roisin O’s points out the ability of selection based on illusory control.

In a world without freewill morality stays the same, that is it is just a system that our brains construct, a concept. Just because everything is determined we can still make moral judgements and those, like everything else, will be determined. 'Our control' is an illusion, which would extend to abstact concepts such as love, morality etc.

priceless if you have a answer that is correct then you know the truth about something and very few people know the truth about anything although this could only be in world without free will because in a world with free will there is no truth as everybody's reality is different

Bit deep this question... also a bit cryptic. Everyone in the world has free will... some wont express it for fear of reprisal others will ram it down your throat whether you want it or not.
Free will is all well and good until it affects others... morality is different wherever you go too....
God what a difficult half question to answer.......

Absolutely nil. All discursive thought is totally without significance. It is silent screaming in a void where no-one hears.

1.
Although without free will, it's probably more like a half.
