In the sequence introduction Eliezer says it makes points about “naturalistic metaethics” but I wonder what points are these specifically, since after reading the SEP page on moral naturalism https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/naturalism-moral/ I can’t really figure out what the mind-independent moral facts are in the story.
I wouldn’t necessarily expect Eliezer’s usage to be consistent with Stanford’s entry. LW in general and Eliezer in particular are not great at using words from academic philosophy in the same way that philosophers do (see e.g. “utilitarianism”).
