No one gets it right all the time, and people should never be held to impossible standards. Only religion attempts to do that. In the aggregate, Daniel Dennett's work weighs heavily on the positives side of the scale.

I learned of Dan's death right after I had sent him an email about a minor tax issue, relating to the business we formed for the play. We only talked about our mutual interests; I had no knowledge of his comments on trans issues.

There's an obituary of him at the NYT https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/19/books/daniel-dennett-dead.html?searchResultPosition=1 (subscribers only). I will sorely miss him. What a great guy he was.
