Max, what human rights do you not support?

I am opposed to the concept. How can "rights" (political concept) exist outside the political? This calls on a God to manage them.

Ah there we differ, human rights are always already political, we negotiate and extend them as and when we can

So that animal rights and the rights of biosphere, which we are responsible for are known increasing constraints on humans and their rights

There are no animal rights. There is no biosphere right. Neither of these can enter into a political debate.

The expansion of the concept of "rights" to these nonhuman entities gets to what I was saying. It's an attempt to foreclose pol.

Concern for the biosphere should be pure selfish concern. It will continue on without us, but we can't exist wo it. Not yet.

rights do not foreclose politics, rather 1. they accept that we have a responsibility for managing our impacts on others
