View submission: Problems with the is/ought fallacy?
I agree. My primary concern was to do with Moral Nihilism. I think a lot of people read Hume's Guillotine, misconstrue the takeaway, and run around screaming "it's all a fairytale".

I think that's a pretty common attitude, especially when people are first exposed to the is-ought problem. It's definitely interesting and worthwhile thinking about, but I think it's a little overblown. This article[1] by Peter Singer is actually a pretty good take on it.
