:: An end to sorrowful adjectives ::

Friday, January 23, 2004

Look, I'm not trying to defend terrorism or even "evil" by any stretch of the imagination, but calling your book An End to Evil is straight up obnoxious polemic. As Reason puts it:

But a doctrine that declares war on human evil does not recognize this element of reality. The next step is clear: declare war on the second law of thermodynamics.

Word. Then we can go all Buddhist and decry An End to Desire, which will lead to An End to Suffering. Poof!

And who knew that by eliminating terrorists we actually permanently quash the central distinction of human morality? Good: 1, Evil: 0.

The actual count is Good: 1, Evil: 2^20996011-1.
But then, I'm biased.
