This is where I stopped reading.
I suggest that you actually read the SEP entry on meta-ethics instead of just linking there - if you did read it, feel free to correct my guess. Metaethics does not mean what you said it did (metaethics is a theory of what morality is, not a way of comparing moralities), moral realism does not mean what you said it did (your belief that morality is a real thing out there constitutes moral realism), naturalistic metaethics do not mean what you said it did, CEV is totally not about convergence in all possible minds, etcetera. I also have to ask whether you read the Metaethics Sequence, but I mostly regard that sequence as having failed so I won't be surprised if the answer is yes.
Is there a do-over in the works? Is it covered in the upcoming book? What's the next-best source of learning these ideas, if any?
