     (tbh I am not a big fan of bookchin mostly because he behaved as an asshole a couple of important times where he - instead of making a well articulated and foundational point - went for the conflation of assumptions and simplification of things just for the in-group audience..see his deminishing of Bateson and calling him a reductionists just because he did not want to have a proper debate...

     @adamgreenfield @woodbark The Ecology of Freedom could have been a much better, less imposing and thus more widely actually read book if he had managed to cut out the bitching about other people. Alas.

     @woodbark @playinprogress It wasn’t all for nothing: it taught me how very badly ad hominems come off in print, how weak they make the writer look & how poorly they hold up, no matter how justified they may have been at the time. (See my pinned post!)
