Is-ought problem

Question

The Scottish philosopher David Hume famously deduced that you cannot derive an ought from an is.

I’m having trouble wrapping my brain around this. Can someone explain to this to me in simplified terms?

Answer 1

I am hungy.(is statement)
There is food in the kitchen.(is statement)

Based on these two statements alone you cannot actually reason yourself into an ‘ought statement’ like

I ought walk into the kitchen and fix myself a sandwich.

This seems counterintuitive, but the reason is we operate off of assumed ought statements like ‘I ought not die’ or
‘I ought eat when I am hungry’.
