It cannot be the case that if the premises are true the conclusion must be, since one of the premises may not qualify as true or false (i.e. the one which asserts that the world ought to be thus-and-so).
As a mere point of logic, it is obviously fallacious to infer facts from values, Is from Ought. It may be that the world ought to be thus-and-so or that it would be better if it were, but it does not follow that that is the way it is
fore because of this : because an event occurred first, it must have caused this later event —used to describe a fallacious argument.
And there is no reason to believe that the universe corresponds to our desires.
