If it's aspirational, I would have suggested replacing "are" with "ought to be."

I see no Hume-ian distinction here with is/ought. The context seems pretty clear. But regardless, perhaps for some the verbiage could be clearer with adding the kludge of "ought to be."

I made my original comment because despite the context I'd read up to that sentence, my gut reaction was "that definitely doesn't sound right."
