Just a brief summary of my current metaethical position.


Other thoughts:

1) The tactic we used to define what is morally true is inspired by the counterarguments of relativists and anti-realists to the self-refutation attack. Relativists and anti-realists will
come up with many clever ways to argue that relativism is not self-refuting or if it is it does not matter. When one claims that they don't live like an anti-realists they can simply shrug it off.
If we offer to define what is true starting from principles that we seem to share and abide by, then it becomes harder for the anti-realist to defend his position. Perhaps a similar tactic could be used
in the epistemic domain to defend epistemic normativity.


2) We did not stress the fact that the mechanisms with which we create heuristics are ingrained in our cognition but some of our moral biases are obviously socially constructed, for the sake of our enterprise this isn't very problematic: Some heuristics we use are socially constructed others aren't. But perhaps another way to reach first principles in the moral domain could be trying to understand if the intuitions we have are socially constructed or not.

3) Perhaps we should define the moral domain as how we think we should behave towards others (not sure).

4) Some citations are missing, future me will insert them.
