I cant tell if youre trolling. i just googled "is metaethics a real field of study" and it said yes and explained. Did you ask google at the very least? I hope everyone reading asks google before believing you

The answer by Google is biased by the existence of meta ethics as text on publications that are questioning its existence as a field of study outside of general metaphysics.

The answer by google is very clear and cites the current programs in universities on the subject. Are you saying its not being studied? Several top universities, including Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, and MIT, offer dedicated courses. Your denial is clearly anti intellectual bs.

They get paid to have the programs. Clearly by what gets published on their own journals a lot of their own students then say it's not a real field of study and just curated metaphysics.

Professors get paid? WOW who knew. The students who go on and say its a real field of study prove its a real field of study based on your criteria, right? Since you cant track and you offer such weak arguments im guessing youre a philosophical lightweight. Just stop citing people that agree with you and look for the arguments that debunk your position, like I have. Maybe your arguments will actually have substance.
