If Dennett is such a fucking genius, why doesn't he recognize the problem<br>of labeling things "thoughtcrime" ? Further, how dare he suggest that I<br>do anything with my time and kilowatts, or dispose of my own property in
<br>any way, other than exactly as i see fit ? The notion that he would<br>impose upon others some kind of minimum acceptable level of function and<br>efficiency in their thoughts and actions is absurd. If certain time,
<br>energy and kilowatts belong to me, I will dissipate them in any way I see<br>fit, and as efficiently as I see fit.<br></blockquote></div><br>Seconded. This sort of junk from people like Dennett is exactly isomorphic to "it's a mortal sin to deny the existence of God" from religious fundamentalists, only the labels have been switched around.
