If any of you don't know what SSC is, it's probably the best blog on the internet, featuring nuanced, skilled, and compassionate explorations of a wide variety of topics. It's loss is a serious tragedy and I am really angry at the reporter who forced him into this.

I'm sure he could get a good job in China or Russia if it came to that. I'm in China for that reason. Just stay quiet on Chinese politics and you can say all you want about Western battles. I have more freedom to talk about most things I care about than I would in the USA.

I refuse to give
@nytimes any clicks until an apology is issued. I just adjusted my settings on Google News to suppress their articles (click “hide source” on ellipses) and encourage anyone who stands with Scott to do the same until this is rectified. -
The NYT has been a source of primarily badness since at least their non-stop lying to promote the Iraq war run-up. That they still have credibility and are still prestigious after that and the two decades since is bizarre to me.

this makes me extremely sad that a person who thought thoroughly without any animus in his heart can be purged from discourse for no reason other than the extent of his thought & an unwillingness to accept others at their word it is a terrible time for discourse

I'm confident the concerns about safety are ~50% fake, maybe more. The decision to take down the blog was still a wise one, though.
