Hm. What is this post for? It doesn't explain the ideas it refers to in any detail sufficient to feel what they mean, and from what it does tell, the ideas seem pretty crazy/simplistic, paying attention to strange categories, like that philpapers survey. (The part before "Mainstream views in metaethics" section does seem to address the topic of the post, but the rest is pretty bizarre. If that was the point, it should've been made, I think, but it probably wasn't.)
I should add that nobody who has read and understood the sequences should be surprised by what I'll describe as 'pluralistic moral reductionism.' I'm writing this sequence because I think this basic view on standard metaethical questions hasn't yet been articulated clearly enough for my satisfaction. And then, I want to make a bit of progress on the hard questions of 'metaethics' (it depends where you draw the boundary around 'metaethics') - but only after I've swept away the easy questions of metaethics.
