Some of his essays on Israel appear on such (cough) esteemed conspiracy theory promoting websites as Counterpunch and Rense. Ironically, he has accused Israel of committing ‘slow motion genocide,’ so it’s possible he does not have a firm grip on what genocide means. <br /><br />/EstherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-24620072183632650682018-12-19T14:00:28.719-08:002018-12-19T14:00:28.719-08:00Surely this gentleman should be asked to 'put ...Surely this gentleman should be asked to 'put his money where his mouth is' - and off himself?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-42711514128305798622018-12-19T09:37:05.443-08:002018-12-19T09:37:05.443-08:00"I have commented extensively on these matter..."I have commented extensively on these matters on the blog and elsewhere and will not belabor philosophers’ willful blindness to the import of Martin Heidegger."

..."Would human extinction be a tragedy?"<br /><br />Of course not, since without humans around to classify it as such, there can be no tragedy or boon, good or bad, beautiful or ugly, nobility or ignobility, natural or unnatural. Much like there is no "sound" in a forest if there is no biological sensor present to classify the microbarometric atmospheric disturbance caused by a falling tree as such. In fact, there is no difference between alternating, weather-related high- and low-pressure fronts and "sound" except frequency, amplitude, and the presence of a biological detector sensitive to the frequency band of the "sound".<br /><br />I do note that May carefully avoids his own duty to commit suicide by invoking utilitarian reasoning that would amuse Jeremy Bentham. However, I suggest 100 lashes on Bentham's other invention, the steam-powered flogging machine, for self-serving philosophizing. It's a common trope among population fanatics to prescribe solutions for other people, excluding themselves.Dr. Irredeemable Dregnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-21242031301262467072018-12-19T05:36:00.425-08:002018-12-19T05:36:00.425-08:00Just the continued degradation of the modern world...Just the continued degradation of the modern world.
