I view “Morality is unsolved” as a misleading framing; instead, I would say it’s under-defined.
I wrote a sequence about metaethics that leaves me personally feeling satisfied and unconfused about the topic, so I also don’t agree with “we don’t understand metaethics very well.” See my sequence summary here. (I made the mistake of posting on April 2nd when the forum was flooded with silly posts, so I’m not sure it got read much by people who didn’t already see my sequence posts on the EA forum.)
Now, your sequences seem quite focused on moral realism. You make your case for anti-realism and uncertainty. But do you also discuss epistemology and other open questions?
In this post, I also claim that moral realism is not worth getting hang up on for AI. I start exploring that claim a bit more in my long post: The Underexplored Prospects of Benevolent SI Part 1 (link is acting up on phone) under Moral Realism. I think there may be some overlap. Short read that section. Based on this, which post should I read first?

Thank you for adding this to the discussion!
