    It is not the case that A lexical priority rule favoring naturalness over all other intrinsic value sources requires justification beyond the mere fact of depletion, which the supporting arguments do not supply.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Depletion demonstrates naturalness as irreplaceable in ways other values are not, providing functional justification for priority.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Lexical rules need not precede empirical facts; scarcity itself constitutes rationally relevant justification for protective prioritization.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The claim demands justification 'beyond depletion' without explaining why empirical irreplaceability cannot suffice as justification.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Lexical priority rules require principled justification, not empirical facts alone, to avoid arbitrary value hierarchies.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Depletion is a consequence of value choices, not itself a reason for those choices; confusing them commits a logical gap.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Without independent justification, naturalness could be prioritized merely because we've depleted other resources, inverting moral reasoning.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
