- phnofive 6y agoIt could be used that way, but do you think that’s the inevitable conclusion of his argument?
- bsenftner 6y agoI doubt PG would use his own reasoning to harm others, but by placing his incomplete and non-comprehensive reasoning out in the world, he invites others to take his essay as advice. Advice that can cause misery if followed by a less accomplished, less astute individuals. His essay lacks acknowledgement of compromise, as any essay tends to do, but with content detailing how to judge others pushes the essay into dangerous ethical territory.
