IME people's announced moral views bear little relation to their performance in actual moral situations, and to a first approximation everyone I've met (mod odd cases which don't describe me) has been an 'amoral familialist' in that they'd put family over abstract ideals, etc.

I concur with that observation but I would never label myself as an amoralist lest anyone think that is intended prescriptively

Well, I'm glad you asked! I had not thought that me describing my moralaity (vel non) would read as endorsement, but I guess that is the common pattern.

What I've learned (often the hard way) is that the most common default interpretative framework one will encounter is a combination of prescriptivism and essentialism. Treat everything as a potential infohazard based on that baseline. I've trained myself to ask not assume.

They're a significant irony to this given how loud proponents of social constructivism are juxtaposed with how likely they are to make fundamental attribution errors and/or fail at is/ought distinction.
