He should be ashamed to think nature doesn't make mistakes. Although, and not to "it was a different time" this, he probably didn't know about cancer and had some other excuse for birth defects.

You can't fully extract yourself from your cultural environment, exceptional philosophers like him already managed to do that a lot more than commoners but he missed other things, it's to be expected. Reminds me of the people who wrote the first ~~Men's Rights~~ Rights of Man and of the Citizen during the French revolution which was incredible progress and yet they voluntarily ignored women, despite women fighting to be mentioned (like her https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympe_de_Gouges).

Just a heads up: you put the closing parenthesis and period inside the hyperlink you posted.

Nbd, and good comment, just letting you know.

He should be ashamed of even believing nature had any sort of will or intentionality. Nature doesn't care about what Diogenes, or any human for that matter, has to say about nature.

Nature cared so much about this questions that it gave sentience to itself to think about it.
