1/ Question:
It seems to me, at the moment, that the Right is more pone to the naturalistic fallacy (IS -> OUGHT), and the Left is more prone to the moralistic fallacy (OUGHT -> IS).
Does that seem right? If so, what's the mechanism? If not, why does it seem that way to me?

The assymmetry of error is interesting. The NF doesn't obstruct finding truth very much but badly obstructs deciding on action. The MF badly obstructs finding truth but doesn't obstruct deciding on action. Which is worse?

This is a strange development. I grew up accustomed to the religious right committing the moralistic fallacy and the secular left committing the naturalistic fallacy. I think the religious right still does this actually. The left has become fanatical with their beliefs too now.

Yeah, the religious right does tend to commit the moralistic fallacy with respect to things like evolution. Though they play both sides with respect to things like homosexuality.
