@sjzara I'm not denying your particular claim about climate change, vaccs, etc (I agree). I'm arguing that you're over-reaching to a general

@PhilosophyExp I really don't think I am. Seeing the Republican candidates reject evolution at the last election campaign was frightening.

@sjzara I know. But seeing them reject the idea of universal human rights would also have been frightening... (maybe more so).

@PhilosophyExp I don't know. To me, rejection of evolution is a sign of a happy, knowing rejection of any link to reality.

@sjzara Agreed. And I'd say the same about a commitment to the idea that there are such things as natural rights (nonsense on stilts).

@PhilosophyExp I guess we are just going to have to disagree. I still see an important general principle.

@sjzara So what about my example of talk of human rights? Do you think we should stop such talk? Or do you think there are such things?

@PhilosophyExp I don't think we should stop such talk. I don't know what my views are on this matter.
