Hume is an interesting thinker and your opinion on the Western Enlightenment is retarded but I totally agree, the is-ought distinction isn't novel at all and so obvious and intuitive that is and has been in common use in both politics and everyday life since time immemorial

90% sure this is troll but that's not what the is/ought distinction is talking about. It would be more like if someone said "I hate rain, it ought to be that every day is sunny and beautiful out", and someone else said "Well retard that's not how the world is".

Where did this cope and lie originate?
