Nomos vs. Physis in Chicago
28th August 2024
Steven Hayward at Power Line.
The Democratic National Convention really is living up to the “convention” part of the title, in the ancient Aristotelian sense of “convention” (nomos) superseding nature (physis). On the one hand, Democrats talk about families and children and whatnot, but ostentatiously display mobile abortion and vasectomy trucks outside the convention grounds, which are apparently fully booked. Democrats are hostile to nothing so much as human nature.
Now, whenever I hear a leftist say they don’t want to bring children into this evil racist climate-destroying nation, I heartily approve. These are indeed the very people I do not want to reproduce. They are doing humanity and great favor, and likely improving the gene pool, by deciding not to reproduce.
Hear, hear.
