I’m confused by your way of presenting your arguments and conclusion. On my end this comment looks like a list of unconnected thoughts, with no segues between them. Does somebody else think they know what Will is saying, such that they can explain it to me?
No, I have very little idea about what Will is talking about, and strongly suspect that he doesn’t either (I only have a vague idea of what I’m talking about as well, recent discussion uses relatively recent ideas). His intuitions seem to be pointing roughly in the direction I believe much more aligned with reality than your pluralistic moral “everyone call a rigid designator” reductionism though (waiting for that emphatic metaethics post for a possible correction in understanding your position), so I can understand why there would be grounds for an argument.

I drew some boundaries between largely-though-not-totally unconnected thoughts.
Does everything within those boundaries look connected to you?
I think Vladimir Nesov agrees with me on this.
Thanks, but it’s still not clear to me. Nesov, do you want to take a shot and arguing for Will’s position, especially if you agree with it?
