hume's law is that you can't get an ought from an is. the idea is that you can't get a "should" statement, a value statement, from a factual description of the world.
so all our values and shoulds etc have to come from sentiment
this is an idea advanced by david hume, one of the great philosophers!
Hume's Law is flawed from conception because philosophers only deal in "should", as they don't do anything to actually create reality. Because they majored in philosophy so they didn't have to get a real job.

that's crazy! philosopher's deal in non-should's all the time; all the epistemology.
I think maybe you just hate philosophy, meaning that you might hate contemplating the question of what the human mind can fully comprehend and think about the universe. the beauty of the human mind is the wonderful saving grace that makes life wondrous every day and always worth living and all that stuff..
so...you can take that! unless you'd prefer dead-brained zombies.
