@MemberOfSpecies Agreed, but let me see if I can steelman your objection further… Separate measure of goodness from threshold of adequacy.

@Meaningness Yes, that sounds right, and it seems to me "adequacy" applies on the same level as "praiseworthy" or "blameworthy".

@MemberOfSpecies The importance of supererogation is in creating a zone of freedom between compulsory and forbidden.

@Meaningness Intuitions around "compulsory"/"forbidden" come from conflict between agents. The words seem misleading applied to theories.

@MemberOfSpecies Well, you’d probably agree they are not misleading in a deontological framework? (Not that I’m advocating deontology, but)

@MemberOfSpecies An underlying question is “how ethical should I be,” which is pressing for many people, >

@MemberOfSpecies but can’t even be stated in existing metaethical frameworks.

@Meaningness I've never been able to understand this perspective; "ethical" (in the sense used here) just seems like it means "shoulded".
