  1. I'm pretty sure I remember a couple of comments suggesting this topic.

  2. I can't speak for alicorn but I'll come out and say that I think the metaethics sequence is the weakest of the sequences and the widespread preference utilitarianism here has not been well justified. I'm not a deontologist but I think understanding the deontologist perspective will probably lead to less wrong thinking about ethics.

Yes, there was some enthusiasm about the topic here.
