Naturally, the beginning of the paper assumes the truth of a theistic belief system (which one is free to take or leave).

If Buddhism doesn't explicitly endorse antinatalism, it certainly permits it easily enough.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09630805408813112175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-354069516366024003.post-76555505507885648512010-12-07T10:42:19.992-08:002010-12-07T10:42:19.992-08:00Maybe "French critical theory" is more a...Maybe "French critical theory" is more accurate than "really, really bad," although they are generally synonymous. <br /><br />I'm writing a response to it with my own questionable translations.Sister Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01003897317594535536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-354069516366024003.post-41035415058654876592010-12-06T11:26:20.099-08:002010-12-06T11:26:20.099-08:00The first half of this paper is really, really bad...The first half of this paper is really, really bad.<br /><br />It gets better toward the end, but I'm not sure how far you can get with incredibly flawed assumptions based on an outdated understanding of the history of human societies.Sister Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01003897317594535536noreply@blogger.com
