Topics we might discuss:
What is the correct metaethics? (Or what is a useful metaethics)? Moral realism, moral antirealism, Eliezer Yudkowsky’s metaethics.
Population ethics: the repugnant conclusion, average vs aggregate utilitarianism, spheres of infinite utility
How to do good in the world: effective altruism, how can you pick the best charity?
If we get bored of that, I will have games as a backup.
