DJ Epstein's Discussion

I read Richard Epstein's discussion on prescriptive claims and value judgement. His discussion explains how prescriptive claims is on the same base as objective claims, but explaining more reasoning to it. An example can be someone is driving on the road, then they hit a piece of wood and it pops the tire. With a flat tire, they should replace the flat tire with a spare tire temporally.

A prescriptive claim can lead help to a value judgment. This can help a situation in order to better claim the statement. Value judgment meaning comparing the good and the bad of the situation. This helps in everyday lives in order to proceed with good preparation.

Here's a picture of me working on my car. Can you believe we gotta do all this just to perfectly mount the high beam?!?!?
