Uh… did you just go through my old comments and upvote a bunch of them? If so, thanks, but… that really wasn’t necessary.
It’s almost embarrassing in the case of the above; it, like much of the other stuff that I’ve written at least one year ago, reads like an extended crazy rant.
I read some of your posts because, having agreed with you on some things, I wondered whether I would agree on others. Actually, I didn’t check the date. When I read a post I want to approve of, I don’t worry whether it’s old.
If I see a post like this one espousing moral anti-realism intelligibly, I’m apt to upvote it. Most of the posters are rather dogmatic preference utilitarians.
No worries; it’s just that here, in particular, you caught the tail end of my clumsy attempts to integrate my old Objectivist metaethics with what I’d read thus far in the Sequences. I have since reevaluated my philosophical positions… after all, tidy an explanation as it may superficially seem, I no longer believe that the human conception of morality can be entirely based on selfishness.

Sorry I embarrassed you.
