Is/Ought Fallacy
79
Transcript
This reasoning is fallacious. It's like arguing in the 1800's that slavery was okay because it was legal.
Is/Ought Fallacy
This fallacy argues that something is right (or wrong) because that's the way it already is.
Example 1
People have argued that illegal immigration is bad because it's illegal.
Example 2
War is good for us because conflict is a human instinct.
In the end, these all follow the same, broken, is/ought reasoning.
Example 3
We don't have limits on the amount of caffeine in drinks. That's why we should not regulate it.
