The answer to those objections, by the way, is that an “adequately objective” metaethics is impossible: the minds of complex agents (such as humans) are the only place in the universe where information about morality is to be found, and there are plenty of possible minds in mind-design space (paperclippers, pebblesorters, etc.) from which it is impossible to extract the same information.
Elizer attempted to deal with that problem by defining a certain set of things as “h-right”, that is, morally right from the frame of reference of the human mind. He made clear that alien entities probably would not care about what is h-right, but that humans do, and that’s good enough.
