When people say "don't legislate morality" (which sounds stupid), what they really mean is "don't legislate the good life."
@simplic10 I agree with that. So the next step, for me, is to look at the detailed texture of what people actually do with “ethics” and how.

@Meaningness I want to add that although I've come to respect folk ethics quite a bit, I still think there's huge scope for revisionism. -
@simplic10 Yes, I agree. Relatedly, when you look at the details of folk ethics, you find errors not considered by philosophers. - 6 more replies

@Meaningness One cool thing is that meta-ethical disputes are clarified. Since some injunctions are basically just game theory insights... -
@Meaningness ...it's tempting to be a Realist about them. But a lot of Good Life stuff is hard to distinguish from aesthetic preferences.
