I don't think the author has the same idea about morality that I do. It's not that somebody, somewhere, is going to see your actions and judge you and mete out reward or punishment; it's that we call those kinds of actions that tend to produce good results "good", and those kinds of actions that tend to produce bad results "blameworthy".

This simplifies things a lot. This is a very old topic, so there are a lot of frameworks, but they overlap a lot. My favorite is Buddhism.

Please do not "forget morality". If you do, you'll find yourself without a compass that guides you toward good results.
