I’m afraid that any nontrivial metaethics cannot result in concrete universal ethics—that the context would still be individual and the resulting “how RichardKennaway should live” ethics wouldn’t exactly equal “how PeterisP should live”.
The difference would hopefully be much smaller than the difference between “how RichardKennaway should live RichardKennaway-justly” and “How Clippy should maximize paperclips”, but still.
Ok, I’ll settle for concrete theorems, with proofs, about how some particular individual should live. Or ways of discovering facts about how they should live.
And presumably the concept of Coherent Extrapolated Volition requires some way of combining such facts about multiple individuals.
