Better ways of thinking, feeling, and acting—around problems of meaning and meaninglessness; self and society; ethics, purpose, and value.

That article gets Kant wrong. It gets human ethology wrong. It gets the relationship between desire and reason wrong.
I didn't get past the title. But I gather almost everyone gets Kant wrong these days eg. https://larvalsubjects.wordpress.com/2009/12/02/empirical-realism-and-ontological-realism/ … @Meaningness
My understanding is that Kant was so confused it’s impossible to “get him right.” But I haven’t actually READ him!
It’s like Nagarjuna—everything after is “what he was REALLY saying is X,” where X is more coherent but not in text
No doubt, people do tend to steel-man their favorite ancients.
I'm no Kant fanboi. It's likely Kant's most famous line at issue here: Cat Imperative v2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categorical_imperative …
The Kant stuff frames the issue. Main problem is that sexual desire can very happily coexist with respect 4 person.
Yes, the actual claim is terribly wrong, in an uninteresting way. I thought invocation of Kant was more interesting
Surprising someone bothers to refute Kant. Unless the point was that only prostitutes don't objecitfy.
