Moral realism is strangest thing my colleagues widely believe. It's like everyone around me is sensible, sober minded, and believes that fairies steal milk on the window sill and consider it bizarre when one thinks we really ought look for some other explanation for missing milk.

is there anyone on record that articulates a metaethical positions close to your take? i'm pretty startled and confused by this, it's so much more hardcore than anti moral anti-realism i know, and i identify as a moral anti-realist
Mackie is close. But I've never found a philosopher or poet who I think well expresses the truly normatively blank universe. (`Normative' to note that I think this goes for much more than morality. E.g. I also find it bizarre when people think there's real epistemic normativity.)

Weirdly for me the issue isn't classic normative blankness but whether implicit commitments are a thing. Like, the kind of moral nihilism I'm bothered about is more Kripkenstein re: content of commitments than Mackie

Oh yeah I also found the rule following paradox pretty persuasive lol
