The problem here, in my humble opinion, is that we have no idea what we are doing when we try to do Moral Philosophy. We need to go up a meta-level and get a handle on Moral MetaPhilosophy. What's the problem? What are the relevent knowns? What are the unknowns? What's the solution process?

Wasn't there a whole sequence on this?

yep, but I find that after that, I'm still a long way from actually knowing how to write a program that does moral philosophy, even in principle, whereas physics is much further along (solomonoff induction, etc).
