I read his writing for the first time recently. It certainly sticks with you. I still take issue with some of his stances.

I was about to say, you nod along with Ted until he starts into the racist bits.

Also his entire argument, which is pretty well-structured, completely hinges on certain things he just takes for granted. Namely, that the number of people that would be harmed by his approach might be far greater than continuing on this path. I don’t know whether he’s right or wrong about that, but it’s PRETTY CRUCIAL, and I feel there’s tons of room for nuance. He, in his frustration, reduced the potential deaths of tens of millions (if not more) to, “Eh. Fuck it, it’s probably better,” best I can tell. He has plenty of diagnoses, but no real remedies or cures.
