Referring to his father as such is an appeal to authority and is only relevant to back the idea that he came from a well off, if not wealthy, family.
I don't think I'm doing him a disservice. He's the one who wrote these things. And a lot of my sentiment and response comes from reading bits of the posted book. Categorizing his writings as purely explorations is a bit of a cop-out because, from what I've read so far, he seems to be rather consistent in his so-called explorations.

- bmitc 4y agoI said I haven't heard of him before. I had done a cursory look up of him and read some articles and blog posts of his. So the context of his father didn't help because I knew it already and, like I said, is largely irrelevant. > I didn't realize that was just a prelude to an argument you wanted to have. I'm not sure what this means.

- bmitc 4y agoJust to be clear, I think the stance of my original comment was clear enough, and the original reply to me was a bit underhanded. Both it and your comment are poking for something, but I'm not sure what that is or what argument I'm setting up for that wasn't already in my original comment. If you have any substantiative commentary, that would be welcomed.
