@lastpositivist I thought it was rather a nice piece actually. Pinker and Blackburn cs are a couple of fuckwits.
@SjoerdvanHoorn I've a v.low opinion of Pinker, so I'll happily grant that (don't know Blackburn so well). But that doesn't redeem the piece

@lastpositivist well, Wieseltier more or less throws back at Nagel's critics what they threw at him. -
@SjoerdvanHoorn Nagel's critics said he didn't make very good arguments concerning biology, and he seemed to be ignorant of key facts.
