Oh wow, this is very different from what I would've expected, based on the way people talk about the metaethics sequence.
Guesses as to whether this is a representative sample?
In retrospect, I should've considered the possibility that "people don't understand the metaethics sequence!" was reflective of a loud minority... on the other hand, can anyone think of reasons why this poll might be skewed towards people who understood the metaethics sequence?
Because a large subset of people who don't understand things are unaware of their misunderstanding?
Chris is surprised because he saw a lot of people saying that they themselves did not understand the sequence.
Several people have tried to explain Lesswrongian metaethics to me, only to give up in confusion. Being able to explain something is the acid test of understanding it.
