What, if anything, is wrong with chaos?

I’m not suggesting that a question can be both; that’s irrelevant, no red herrings here, mister.

I see no other way to parse this statement of yours:

I can play your game, so how about this: answer my question as though it is both descriptive and normative.

Do you?

@triknighted

You resort to [sic] ambiguity for a straight forward question? This is baffling.

Obviously, if I thought the question was straightforward, I would’ve answered it already. You can claim that your question is straightforward all you want - I’m in no way obligated to agree with you.

@triknighted

How about this, since you’re a semantics relativist:

Give me your definition of the two types of questions in consideration, and then I will proceed with your little [sic] game [sic] if I so choose. . . .

I don’t feel insulted by being called a “semantics relativist”. I recognize the inherent arbitrariness of semantics, so I take you pointing that out as a compliment.

I define “descriptive question” as “a question about the nature of (part of) reality”, and “normative question” as “a question about what one expects of (part of) reality”.
