Z.M Davis: “Submitted humbly for consideration: Ayn Rand is to libertarianism as Greg Egan is to transhumanism as Eliezer Yudkowsky is to moral relativism?”
- not sure I get this… Rand abhorred libertarianism because she thought it was half-baked and amateurish, but actually she is a libertarian, Egan spoke out against transhumanism because, uuum, he thinks we’re all crackpots, but actually he’s a transhumanist, Yudkowsky speaks out against moral relativism but actually he’s the canonical example of a relativist. Ah, yes, ok.
