    Because we know almost all supposed moral positions are just virtue-signaling b.s., we mistake actual moral claims (rarely encountered) for more of the same. A cost I had not considered.http://fakenous.net/?p=64

        (I am not a vegetarian, and I suspect many supposed vegetarians are virtue-signaling rather than holding coherent moral positions, but Michael Huemer will be an exception if anyone is.)

        @Meaningness, I'm struggling to understand your view here. How do you distinguish between virtue-signaling and Huemer-like coherent moral positions? Do you have on opinion on which is a better description of other academic work on ethics?

        Usually our motivations are mixed, so most of the time there’s some of both, I think. I tweeted more about this more recently than in the one you replied to!

        expecting other people to take my moral claims seriously seems antisocial to me (just from experience)

        Isn't antisocial a moral judgement?

        Hahahaha.... Maybe there's not a universal morality because suffering is irrelevant

        Also true wrt potential new values/virues to aim for more generally. Glad you're coming around 😉

        Gonna need a citation for “almost all moral positions are virtue-signaling b.s.”
