Um, that’s what I just said: “presumably you are talking about ought”.
We were then talking about the meaning of ought.
There’s also the issue of whether to discuss ought and ought—which are evidently quite different—due to the shifting moral zeitgeist.
Well then, I don’t understand why you would find statements like “There are no alien [human oughts]” and “They don’t see [human morality] differently from us” bizarre-sounding.
Having established EY meant ought, I was asking about ought.
Maybe you are right—and EY misinterpreted me—and genuinely thought I was asking about ought.
If so, that seems like a rather ridiculous question for me to be asking—and I’m surprised it made it through his sanity checker.
