I'm assuming a lot of background in this post that you don't seem to have. Have you read the sequences, specifically the metaethics stuff?

Moral philosophy on LW is decades (at the usual philosophical pace) ahead of what you would learn elsewhere and a lot of the stuff you mentioned is considered solved or obsolete.

I have, and I found it unclear and inconclusive. A number of people have offered to explain it , and they all ended up bowing out unable to do so

I find no evidence for that claim.
