Would you draw the same conclusion Greene does about these responses?
For the reasons I pointed out here, it still seems to me that you’re attacking a straw man here. Greene doesn’t conclude from this that morality is not rationally justifiable. He believes that moral realism is false for separate reasons, which are set out at length in Ch. 2 of the dissertation.
AFAICT, the position you’re attacking has only been articulated by Roko.
I do not think it is a strawman that, in the alternate world, Greene would get a good laugh at how people cling so tightly to their anti-torture/murder intuitions, even when the President orders it for heaven’s sake! How strange that “one becomes a lawyer trying to build a case rather than a judge searching for the truth”.
I’m confused. You initially seemed to be criticizing Greene for attempting to conclude, from individuals’ responses to the dilemmas, that morality is not justifiable. I pointed out that Greene was not attempting to draw this conclusion from those data. You now say that your original argument is not a strawman because Greene would “get a good laugh” out of your alternative dilemma.
I would imagine that he might get a good laugh from this situation. After all, being an anti-realist he doesn’t think there are any good reasons for moral judgments; and he might therefore find any circumstance of moral dumbfounding amusing. But I don’t see how that’s especially relevant to the argument.
