He’s not doing this. You’re starting a witch hunt.
- jncfhnb 1y agoHe’s not doing what? Framing the murder as an intellectual no-no? Because that very bluntly seems to be the point of the article. In what way is this a witch hunt?
- ninetyninenine 1y agoYep he's not doing that. And you're singling him out.
- jncfhnb 1y agoWell here’s a quote where it seems very plain that he is framing it as an intellectual no no to me > This brings me to my main point: ridiculing or shooting people with whom we disagree is not a sign of intelligence. An extraterrestrial observer might have a hard time concluding that humanity represents an intelligent civilization given our history of political violence. And responding to an individual’s statements does not comprise a witch-hunt.
