Politics mindkilled him; he cannot separate the normative and the descriptive.

I think I agree with this.

I too think I agree but I think there is a spectrum when it comes to the separation of normative claims. Example: Both Marx and Kaczynski failed in distinguishing the normative from the descriptive, but Kaczynski less so.
