<p>Waarom is het toch zo moeilijk om los te komen van het
cartesiaans substantiedualisme? Geest/Lichaam etc.. Is Fluks nog
steeds een cartesiaan die hier het nog nooit opgenomen heeft voor
een dier? De ellendeling...</p>

<p class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM">“No one can deny seriously any
more, or for very long, that men do all they can in order to
dissimulate this cruelty or to hide it from themselves; in order
to organize on a global scale the forgetting or misunderstanding
of this violence, which some would compare to the worst cases of
genocide (there are also animal genocides: the number of species
endangered because of man takes one’s breath away). One should
neither abuse the figure of genocide nor too quickly consider it
explained away. It gets more complicated: the annihilation of
certain species is indeed in process, but it is occurring through
the organization and exploitation of an artificial, infernal,
virtually interminable survival, in conditions that previous
generations would have judged monstrous, outside of every presumed
norm of a life proper to animals that are thus exterminated by
means of the continued existence or even their overpopulation.</p>
<p class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM">As if, for example, instead of
throwing a people into ovens and gas chambers (let’s say Nazi)
doctors and geneticists had decided to organize the overproduction
and overgeneration of Jews, gypsies, and homosexuals by means of
artificial insemination, so that, being continually more numerous
and better fed, they could be destined in always increasing
numbers for the same hell, that of the imposition of genetic
experimentation, or extermination by gas or by fire.” --Derrida<br>
