Mike humorously recounts grounding morality in IHOP's waffles after a meta-ethics discussion, highlighting the challenges in reaching agreement on such topics.
Longer summary
This post is a short humorous dialogue between Mike and Alicorn about grounding morality. Mike recounts a past discussion on meta-ethics with a college friend at IHOP, where they jokingly decided to ground morality in waffles after seeing a sign praising IHOP's waffles. The post uses this absurd idea to poke fun at the difficulty of reaching agreement in meta-ethical discussions.
Shorter summary
Mike: I think the last time I had this discussion, I decided to ground morality with waffles.
Alicorn: What?
Mike: I was in an IHOP with my friend from college, and we were talking about meta-ethics, and we couldn’t reach agreement, and then as we were leaving we saw a big sign saying “YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT GOOD IS UNTIL YOU’VE TRIED OUR WAFFLES”. So we thought, yeah, okay, that explains that.
