click Ok, I think I see now. Forgive me for asking instead of trying to figure this out on my own - finals are looming tomorrow. Morning. And the next morning.
One of two things seem to be going on here. I'll quote Eliezer's metaethical position again, for reference (answering what the meaning of "right" is):
The bolded part is most relevant to my question. Are you agreeing with Eleizer's argument, and just arguing that present terminal values can only be inferred from action? Or are you disagreeing and arguing that present terminal values, which only can be inferred from action, are the terminal values, i.e. the meaning of "right"/"should"? Or is it something else and I'm still confused?
Dude, we both need to stop this and go to sleep.
