Calling you a simpleton is also a simple descriptive statement. I’d have to add the evaluative premise “you shouldnt be a simpleton” to - rationally infer- the normative...therefore you should endeavor to be unlike yourself.
A different evaluative premise yields a different normative statement.
Well use Tim again.
-and you shouldnt be a man- would be required to make the inference follow.
Just as altering the evaluative premise to “ and you should be a man” will make the statement a non seq.
Same goes for stealing. We can agree to the descriptive statement, but if my evaluative premise is @ it’s okay to do a bad thing sometimes” then.,.-therefore you shouldn’t steal- no longer follows.
Follow? Rhetorical, I know you can’t, and that’s why you should endeavor to be unlike yourself.
