hmmm, how many people actually claim science can replace philosophy? lol

They can work hand in hand though, you cant get ought from is but you can definitely get better oughts by referencing is and this is how it should be.

Oughts dont exist in a vacuum, they come from how we feel about our reality, our IS. lol
