HK, what do you mean when you say 'can't derive an is from an ought after all.'
I can read a meaning in that but I'm not sure if I'm understanding it the way you intend or not.
- HKH2 1y agoDescriptions cannot directly lead to prescriptions. Values come from you (the subject). 'Junk food is bad for your health' is a description, but who is it that decides that health is more important than pleasure? The prescription 'Don't eat junk food' is rooted in a value (e.g. that health is more important than pleasure), but you have the freedom to simply reject that value. How much moderation we should have is subjective.
