There are two different questions to ask. One is sort of ethical, and one is metaethical. The obvious difference between sam harris and myself is on the metaethical level. I am not surprised when moral objectivists and moral constructivists tend to agree. But i think h t there's still a little bit of work remaining to be done before everyone agrees on precisely the right story to tell.
Welcome to the August 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic.
