Bad Takes: Talking about climate change's role in the Central Texas floods isn't 'politicizing the issue'
Bad Takes is a column of opinion and analysis. If we cannot recognize our own given natures and the natural world as setting any limit at all upon the desires that we contemplate taking seriously; if we will not listen to the anticipations and suspicions of the artefactual conception of human beings that sound in half-forgotten moral denunciations of the impulse to see people as things, as tools, as cannon-fodder, or as fungibles; if we are not ready to scrutinize with any hesitation or perplexity at all the conviction — as passionate as it is groundless — that everything in the world is in principle ours or there for the taking; then what will befall us? — David Wiggins, Sameness and Substance Renewed, 2001 Politicization is in the newsfeed of the beholder.
