I’m not sure what flavor of moral anti-realism you subscribe to so I can’t really help you there, but I am currently writing a post which aims to destroy a particular subsection of anti-realism. My hope is that if I can destroy enough of meta-ethics, we can hopefully eventually make some sort of justified ethical system. But meta-ethics is hard and even worse, it’s boring. So I’ll probably fail.
Good luck! I look forward to seeing it, and I applaud any efforts in that direction, even as I agree that it’s likely to fail :)
That’s a pretty good summary of my relationship to Utilitarianism: I don’t believe it, but I do applaud it and I prefer most of it’s recommendations to a more nihilistic and purer theory.

Wow what a coincidence, moral nihilism is exactly the subject of the post is was talking about. Here it is btw.
