Describing the source of human values is not the same as answering if those values SHOULD be our values. You’ve just pushed the is ought problem to a different place.
Was your answer trying to reply to my original question? (Why should the evolutionary history of an experience effect our pursuance of it as a goal?) If so, can you clarify how it answers that.
I’m responding the statement about question about evolutionary history and is=/=ought
I’m trivialising the question and suggesting that ‘ought’ should be reduced to ‘is’. I hypothesize this has therapeutic effects, since it approximates acceptance and commitment, and established therapeutic process.
For example, we have an explanation of how love works, and you want to love in other kinds of ways, but I, for one, get satisfaction from satisficing my apriori biological goals.
See where I’m coming from?
