Pretty much the crux of the matter.

Hume's law: It is impossible to derive a normative judgement from a descriptive judgement.

Interesting, I must ruminate.

I have been looking in to this and I see that it seems to be more of an assumption rather than a law. It has been fun so far, to slog through and dream on this. Continuing.

What about it to you seems like an "assumption" rather than a "law"? I'm glad I'm stimulating your brainz

[sonofshadow]

It seems to me to be a very useful tool for parsing out ideas, however, it's generally not accepted as a "law" like the law of gravity or Boyles law because it isn't perfectly bullet proof. Fischer's special assumption is in this same category. It works for ALMOST everything.

Ow my brainz.

Try this.

If people in general want to be good, or good at something, they ought to behave in ways, and use such devices or tools at their disposal, that enable them to achieve their idea of good.
