I don’t think claims about how something seems to me need independent substantiation.
Oh, come on...
That there is a definite and uniform LW ethics is not a default: such a claim needs support itself.
But that’s not the claim under discussion. The claim that we’re (well, I’m—you kind of aren’t) discussing is that there is a definite and uniform position that one person, namely Eliezer, has laid out in a sequence. I’m not sure how you are supposed to prove that absence of something, in this case a change of mind, by the way...

That is more of a default; OTOH, I have laid out, in the other subthread, how he has actually embraced four different positions.
Huh. Might as well stake my own position then. Humean sentimentalist/emotivist here, what up?
The logical structure of ethical claims.
