One more toxic comment from Scott Aaronson. His misogyny in full display. Only men make sense to him.pic.twitter.com/avyJ6pgvPm
Sadly Scott Aaronson closed his thread and didn't even let me address. Very definition of silencing. He equates struggles of women and minorities to aspbergery males! The tone deaf nature of his comments is truly disappointing. He squandered a valuable opportunity to be an ally.pic.twitter.com/XkZtm2f6nN
Scott Aaronson's comments further reveal his biases. His blind admiration of Pinker is sad for someone who claims to be a scientist and open minded. Sexism and racism is never experienced from someone with privilege. And comparing Pinker to Marie Curie (barf!)pic.twitter.com/x2BpiNy9y3
Read my latest blog post detailing recent events around naming of #quantumsupremacy and parallels it shares with #neurips name change. Also cluelessness of privileged men like
@sapinker
and Aaronson

When original title made multiple uncomfortable, I changed it. Unlike Aaronson and @sapinker I am open to changes that create a better environment! Names are powerful. People are quick to call out my usage of neo-Nazis but turn a blind eye to NIPS/Supremacy issues
Aaronson had to get to last slide on #neurips
name change http://tensorlab.cms.caltech.edu/users/anima/slides/CRACT-2018.pdf … to know about @sapinker stance. Talk about cognitive bias to ignore mountain of evidence and to feature only @sapinker @celestekidd would have some thoughts on this.
I love how Scott starts the whole thing off by saying he doesn’t have a dog in the fight, and then it’s like ... BUTpic.twitter.com/2JV79i5u0w
"Very definition of silencing." That sounds really bad, but you did state earlier in the thread "I will not respond anymore", so is it possible that he just thought you weren't going to respond? Probably I missed some later interaction.
You have been making excuses on my thread for Scott's poor behavior. So far I have given you benefit of doubt, but you are one tweet from getting blocked. I have no energy to deal with toxic people.
They're exploiting disability justice concerns for rhetorical points, but please don't be too dismissive. Autistic people really do struggle, particularly at an overstimulating, crowded conference where they're expected to constantly interact. 
Echoing @nsaphra, please don't be too dismissive of the struggles that people with autism face. I think there's room talk about struggles of more than one type. I think @celestekidd talk at #NeurIPS2019 was full of compassion. We can all use more compassion in this world.
Thanks for flagging it @yisongyue My intention was to flag Scott trying to equate his struggles as a man on spectrum with struggles of women and minorities. The two are not equal by any means. I have utmost empathy for people on spectrum since I am actually one.
