In that case, you have to give a
precise reason why an "oughtness" and an "ought" are importantly different.
and given that he presents this oughtness like this...
1. It is undeniable there is an "oughtness-to-breathe" within the science-biology FSRK [thus objective].
It really is quite deniable. He is choosing not to use the words that would be used in science and biology. He's not satisfied with their words, so he uses his own word. He opts not to use
respiratory drive.
Then you have to explain whether the oughtness comes from an prudentialness or a moralness.
Even prudentialness isn't coming from that framework.
X leads to Y. Description and causation. That something is prudent, even something so radically obviously prudent as breathing, is application. It would be using science, not that anyone needs to in relation to breathing, which people struggled to do, except when suicidal, long before science arose.
So, it's a game. Instead of using language from the Framework of science, he uses a word with moral nuances.
And then it becomes objective when used in morality proper, which he himself says doesn't really exist now.
So, it's objective.
And you will need to write whatever this fixed thing is supposed to be as an actual argument. Perhaps you should include some detail of what is the question it answers. And then you might want to explain how that question hasn't already been answered if you are in a position to use that second premise.
It doesn't even matter. If oughtness is actually covered, his version of oughtness, within the Biology FSetc, then he can use the word or phrase they use. His reluctance to do that
to actually, himself, respect his own FSK thing, is missing. He appeals to the authority of an FSK (sorry I don't have the energy to get the new acronym right) while not trusting its framework.
IOW I think your suggestion makes sense, but it's just asking him to produce more silliness. He doesn't respect the FSK he is using as an authority enough to use its framework and language.
And it would probably be obvious to even non-verbal primates why.
