Yeah, childless people are losers & have nothing to contribute to the world. Jesus for example. What a sissy. And Isaac Newton: a jackass. & Beethoven, Rosa Parks, Jane Austin, Helen Keller, James Baldwin, Gertrude Stein. None of them had "real experience of family life"https://twitter.com/yhazony/status/1130574657948737536 …

Yoram's particular animus is against the Enlightenment. All of the people you mentioned are not from that period.

That's kind of the point. You can't blame childless philosophers for the Enlightenment when there were plenty of childless thinkers who produced communitarian thought before & after Enlightenment.

I find the whole 'childless' definition of not having a family odd. Most of these people were not orphans and many lived within an extended family unit most of their lives.

Hazony's argument is simply a backdoor justification of patriarchy. He may be citing men without children, but you can bet he's really thinking of how their personal agency similarly applies to women, with or without children.

Hobbes venerated "the free individual"?
