For some reason, I get the vibe that some recognized "thinkers" simply are afraid to deal with such a difficult topic. And by "difficult", I don't mean the number of brain cells. I'm talking about hurting feelings and taking a stance. I think Sam has made a very cogent argument and a lot of good can come of working towards a scientific approach to morality. Some of the resistance sounds very much like the arguments made in the past when groundbreaking advancements in science were initially presented.

After reading the Moral Landscape I was impressed but unconvinced. It seemed like yet another value framework that was ultimately without foundation. I felt like he handwaved the Is/Ought gap.
But I really appreciated his discussion on the topic with Alex O'Connor. Alex questioned and deconstructed Sam's moral realism with more skill and subtly than I've seen in Sam's interlocutors. As a result, he was able to offer the most robust arguments in its favor, which it seems are distilled in this recording.
Great work.

What worries me about integrating this philosophy is that it takes out the human element in my life that makes humans imperfect. And I feel like when trying to implement this philosophy in life or society there seems to be no end to the project of perfection. Also, it makes me feel like a robot whose actions and thoughts are constantly being analzyed. It takes out the sponaneity in life. But idk maybe I'm wrong.

I feel like this will receive widespread appreciation in 50 years. Maybe much longer. Most people aren't ready to even speak the language of incompatibalism and secular objective morality.
