Are you putting yourself in my shoes enough when you give me the advice that I should go back to the state of uncertainty?
Do you want to take a shot at doing this yourself? E.g., imagine that you’re trying to convince someone else with strong object-level intuitions about something (that you think should have objective answers) like metaethics, but different intuitions from your own. I mean not to convince them that they’re wrong, with object-level arguments (which isn’t likely to work since they have very different intuitions), but that they should be more uncertain, based on the kind of arguments I give? How would you proceed?
Or would you not ever want to do this, because even though there is only one true answer to metaethics for everyone, everyone should be pretty certain in their own answers despite their answers being different?
Or do you think metaethics actually doesn’t have objective answers, that the actual truth about the nature of morality/values is different for each person?
(The last 2 possibilities seem implausible to me, but I bring them up in case I’m missing something, and you do endorse one of them.)
