Thanks! More like this, please.

Who are you writing for? If you skipped ahead to the metaethics main sequence and just pointed to the literature for cogsci background, do you expect that they would not understand you?

Writing posts such as these makes the content much more accessible than just providing a reference. Even if Luke uploaded the papers on his website for easy access, reading a paper requires more mental energy than reading a blog post. Even people who'll read the papers if they are convinced that those have something worthwhile can be helped by a blog post that helps convince them that reading the paper is worthwhile.
