The article “Stalin’s Great Purge: Over A Million Detained, More Than Half A Million Killed” indicates Joseph Stalin's inner evil by organizing The Great Purge to…

    Feldman’s response seems inherently strange to me, and I believe the number of relevant differences between role oughts and epistemic oughts make it so that role ought cannot possibly serve as a good model for epistemic oughts.
