Moral realism vs moral anti-realism debate is a moot point

Moral realism vs moral anti-realism debate is a moot point
Moral realism vs moral anti-realism is a moot point. It is analogous to arguing over whether or not the color red is a primary or secondary trait or fire trucks. Who cares? Such debates between moral realism vs moral anti-realism almost always end up being semantic disputes over the word "exists" or something like that. I really don't care anymore about academic hairsplitting when it comes to morality; I'm sick of the fallacy of the beard and the perfectionist fallacy. I'm going to just pick a set of moral axioms and move on with my life.
It is very important not to mistake hemlock for parsley, but to believe or not believe in God is not important at all. - Denis Diderot
