Hello Kartar, I wrote this as a response to Kreplin’s essay, which appeared online in Aeon Magazine. After writing it, I tried to submit it to Aeon, only to discover that they neither accept unsolicited material, nor allow comments to their articles. So, I posted it on my blog and tweeted it in response to Aeon’s announcement tweet, but got no response. So I decided to publish it here. It’s received 7k views and 2k reads so far, so perhaps she’ll respond. or perhaps Aeon Magazine will publish it.

Thank you for your feedback on this essay.
