Moral Oughts

[Acrobat]

John is a man, men should be hit, therefore I should hit John....follows.

Except of course bad in a moral sense already implies it ought not be done.

Stealing is bad, therefore I shouldn’t do steal.

To add:

Stealing is bad, I shouldn’t do things that are bad therefore I shouldn’t steal, is redundant.

If my daughter said stealing is bad, I should do bad things, therefore I should steal. She would be wrong, like saying 1+1=5, rather than I like blue.
