as "designed to reconcile us to inequality." He further
added that "in a nation where an ever-growing number of
people lack basic health insurance, and a world where
tens of millions live on a dollar a day and a
substantial proportion of the affluent do nothing to
relieve their plight, it's really difficult to see how
reductiones ad absurda contribute to the practical
