It means, for instance, that segments of the population who have different ideas on controversial moral questions like abortion or capital punishment actually have different moralities and different sets of values, and that we as a species will never agree on what answers are right, regardless of how much debate or discussion or additional information we have. I strongly believe this to be true.
Clearly, I know all this stuff, so I meant something else. Like not having more precise understanding (that could also easily collapse this surface philosophizing).
Well, yes, I know you know all this stuff. Are you saying we can't meaningfully discuss it unless we have a precise algorithmic definition of CEV? People's desires and values are not that precise. I suspect we can only discuss it in vague terms until we come up with some sort of iterative procedure that fits our intuition of what CEV should be, at which point we'll have to operationally define CEV as that procedure.
