Which problem are you trying to solve? What metaethics is, or what rational behaviour is?
Most intelligent beings in the multiverse share similar preferences
What’s that got to do with ethics? Morality=preferences is not an obvious truth that can be left implicit.
One question LWers may have is, where does Eliezer’s metathics fall into this schema? Eliezer says that there are moral facts about what values every intelligence in the multiverse should have, but only humans are likely to discover these facts and be motivated by them.
His meta-ethics is pretty unclear, but I read it more as “whatever values humans have is ethics, and other values arent”.
