"Killing the father" is an old trope however ...is there really anything "new" under the sun? I found Badiou's response, not even in comparison to others but just in and of itself, precisely "sober", and even pragmatic in his suggestion we use this time to think seriously

How was Badiou's response not sober? You immediately said you were writing a "response" but it seems unobjectionable to me. He said not to expect Covid to bring a political revolution. You disagree?
