I don't disagree with that.

  What are the 'morals' of some entirely different alien race? Are they going to be the same as ours? Probably not. Maybe there are some very 'core' morals that might be consistent, but pragmatically, they won't resemble at all. The 'morals' of Athenian life in antiquity were such that every able-bodied male had to have his own war fighting gear, and be called to fight in the defence of the city if need be. This would be an existential duty towards the community, without which, they could not exist. But Athens today? Not necessary.
