I took a look at Greene's dissertation when Roko started pushing it, but I don't think Greene's views are much like Eliezer's at all. Specifically he doesn't seem to emphasize what Eliezer calls the "subjectively objective" quality of morality, or the fact that people may be mistaken as to what their morality says. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I agree with the rest of the original post.

I agree about the difference of emphasis but I don't think they have a major substantive disagreement on those issues. You can check with Owain Evans, who knows him.
