No. He isn't. That is what the landscape symbolism is about. The many different ways of seeking the goal of improving human wellbeing.

anyhow i think i made my earlier point. scientists who engage in public policy don't, at a very basic level think Hume's guillotine exists

I'm going to mute you now because you never actually say anything. Just waffle on vaguely without any noticeable point.

At least then I'd know what you're getting at. No need for all this vague meandering about never actually saying anything.

Harris was mentioned in passing but there are others like him. You seem to be in denial that such problems exist

I've said nothing at all about this & I still don't know what you're talking about in relationship to it.

I can honestly say I have little knowledge and no opinion on the matter of scientists getting involved in public policy.

You're obviously not to explain straightforwardly what your point is and how it relates to anything I've said & this is a pattern with you.

There are too many interesting people here who make clear, well-argued & relevant points to be wasting time with vague & pompous waffle.
