Obviously, right and wrong, responsibility and irresponsibility--moral considerations--and all the oughts and the ought-nots...are subsumed and incorporated into my syllogism. Don’t be so bloody stupid. Once again:

Science tells us the Nature of Reality in progressive stages of discovery. And Reality dictates how we ought to live...if our purpose is to live. Not too hard to understand for most people. But please feel free to jump out of a plane without a chute! Or pretend there was a flood that covered all the mountains and drowned everyone on earth-- etc. etc. etc. -g-

"What "IS" cannot inform what "OUGHT" to be"

Don't be such a Nimrod. Moral standards are derived from the nature of the world and from the nature of human beings. It would not do people or society or civilization much good to set behavioral expectations based on imaginary considerations rather than actual ones! LOL!

You ought to eat plywood for breakfast. NOT!
