YYZ—I think the author’s tinfoil cap is a little too tight and restricting the blood flow to their brain

According to EO Wilson, the human ape lacks personhood, self, mind, reason, and free will. Should he believe he is experiencing, let’s say..’self’...he’s merely having an epiphenomenon, or illusion. By your ardent defense of some of the world’s most notorious intellectual morons, one must assume you believe yourself to be a human ape. If so, why ought anyone bother listening to a human ape who believes he knows what he’s saying but is in fact merely having an epiphenomenon?

Freud, Nietzsche and Adorno were brilliant. However I may disagree with them on this or that point.

“By your ardent defense of some of the world’s most notorious intellectual morons”

Pointing out that the author has written a wide-ranging paranoid screen against a whole variety of bad people and ideas is hardly eqivalent to defending those people and ideas. But then, that’s about the level of argument I would expect of someone who wrote (or thought it worth posting) an article liek this.

FWIW, I DO believe that humans are naked apes. Ones with an ability for conciousness, introspection, logic, and culture, that makes us unique amongst all the other animals. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
