> I think that enough time has passed that we can critique poor old Kant

No, no, no! Here on Hacker News, it is apparently forbidden to criticize the dead because "they can't defend themselves." It's seen as somewhere between "cowardly" and "uncouth."

This policy seems to mainly apply, for some weird reason I suspect I would prefer not to know about, to the recently-departed Dilbert guy. But I'm sure his fans would stick up for Kant also!

Oh damn. Dilbert dude died. Pour one out for someone other than him who deserves it.
