Default Re: Sartre\'s Contradiction

I just briefly skimmed The Purpose of Life (and I mean very briefly) from your site and the author said something I've said before on this forum: You can't get an ought from an is.

He then appears to state that our basic moral axioms have come to us through evolution. How is that not getting an ought from an is?

Other than that it's a very cheery site with encouraging titles like "Quotations about death - 'the goal of all life is death, Freud'", "Death is not bad for the Living", "The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement" and "Suicide Methods". I just love the optimistic outlook.
