My position on metaethics in a nutshell: Them: Ah, but what do you mean by "Friendly"? Me: Pal, I'm not going to let you get turned into paperclips because you couldn't figure out how to make words mean things.

Well yes, but his wanting the paperclip type errors not to happen doesn't seem to me to constitute a meta-ethical view.

In a way, the universe is already turning into paperclips. Why is it bad if evolution produces a series of events that changes the design of these clips, and what is the meta ethics that can provide that result? (Eliezer’s take on meta ethics is cute snark here.)
