Comments on Monkey business by Pro Bono

I understand that it's desirable to describe a culture without judging it. But I reject any suggestion that no culture is inferior to another.

For example, a culture which enables slavery is worse than one which forbids it.

A proof would require some axiomatic statements about what is desirable. In the end, one has to make a moral judgment about those axioms. I'm entirely willing to do that.
