I'm not really familiar with philosophy, so I don't know what term describes my view on morality. But to describe it, it's something like, all moral claims can be broken down into non-moral claims; moral language/concepts are 'shorthand' 1/

You can say basically the same things in non-moral frameworks as you can in moral frameworks, and this is *preferred*, because all moral frameworks are really incoherent. Morality isn't fundamentally real, it exists sort of as a "layer on top of" social reality.

Most questions about meta-morality or whatevs do better when u taboo all moral language and see what the questions resolve to without that. Unconditional "shoulds" make no sense to me, and if u remove that you just get a bunch of if-thens, which are more sensible and functional.

A *ton* of the fuzzy, counterintuitive, and paradoxical moral questions (including lots of utilitarian thought experiments!) only feel that way because they're pointing at the failures of the moral shorthand, gesturing to the fact of information loss as we skipped over steps.

my difficulty here is focus on outlier questions rather than general trends looks like negation of general trends, but often runs from them. a concrete example beyond questions of morality might be “intersex individuals exist” (true) “proves a sex binary doesn’t exist” (not true)

Do you have an example of a concrete example that's not beyond questions of morality?
