“Ethical theory,” he writes, “requires idealizations like free, sentient, rational, equivalent agents whose behavior is uncaused.” Yet, “the world, as seen by science, does not really have uncaused events.”

Such materialistc determinism is the cornerstone of Marxism.

So very glad you noticed that, too, Tailgunner Joe.

Of course, an allegation like that seems to make many of our neo-Darwinist friends squirm.... But it seems to me, if "the shoe fits, wear it."

Thanks for so much for writing, Tailgunner Joe!
