Have you considered this possibility?
I haven't read the sequences, but I don't think Eliezer has yet refuted metaethics.
I've never understood how one can have "moral facts" that cannot be observed scientifically. But it does not matter, I am not being normative, but merely descriptive. If moral values did not ultimatey arise from natural selections, where did they arise from?
Given the fact that the 'scientizing' paradigm is as much open to criticism as anything in the OP, it's hard to see what, if any, relevance this has.
This is just equivocation of physical human impulses and moral imperatives.The two don't have anything to do with each other, aside from the possibility of being conterminous.
