No idea how to intelligently debate this guy because I'm unfamiliar with metaphysics. All sounds like BS to me.
I'd have a hard time buying any moral theory that requires metaphysical assumptions, it seems to me that the only reason you'd need to go there is if you want to try and slip in assertions, like theists do with their claims that there is a supreme being/moral source.
