Quinn argues against anthropocentrism; however, there is no alternate method. If mankind were to bestow upon other creatures equality, then we would not only be still be the ones granting the worldly power, but also, be attempting to discover the intent of nature. Man shall never deduce the aim of nature because nature has no specific purpose. Man can not revert to biocentrism since they have already established dominance over the world.

@bootme21 one of the core messages of the book is to spread the law that it proposes and bring it to peoples attention. not keep it for yourself and feel like your the smartest person you know. promoting it is a good thing fuck em.

Great! Spread the word!

People need to get better at explaining the book at least a little.
-
Keep spreading the word.. Everyone must read Ishmael!

I like to think that the only reason Ishmael is an ape in the book rather than a human is so it wouldn't end up in non-fiction

@bootme21 maybe he's trying to say that you took the idea of what the book presented to easily.
This is typical ignorance of "taker" culture. You are not listening to what "mother culture" has portrayed througout this novel. If you really understood Ishamel, you would not be posting videos about how great it is.
