'Is & Ought' in David Hume
#11
RE: 'Is & Ought' in David Hume
I believe that scientifically, the concept of "ought" doesn't exist. I still use the word everyday, but only coloquially because it is based solely on animal instinct and animal desire.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts. -Bertrand Russell

Even if god did exist, he has yet to prove it, and our doubt is justified.
