The "fuck 'ought', only 'is'" attitude is not quite the pragmatic rationalist take you think it is.
- SllX 4y agoCould you clarify the “ought” in this?
- uoaei 4y agoOught we or ought we not consider the lopsided information access of voters in elections? Ought we be doing something to limit or counteract the propaganda? As opposed to, crudely, "it is the way it is because laws", which is of course an entirely normative claim.
