One issue I’ve had with this run is that each philosophy is presented as exclusive of all other philosophies; one may believe as the bonist does without it being one’s ENTIRE guiding philosophy of life. One may, for instance, be a fallibilist-aspheterist-bonist: Perhaps the world would be better if we abolished private property, but we have no way of being certain; that isn’t perfect, but it’s OK.
(On occasion, I’ve described myself as a Jesusite-atheist-irrational-materialist-existentialist, or “J’AIME.”)

There can be better worlds than this, also some a great deal worse.
