      And a bunch of people pointed out that EC hadn't broken the rules, and Scott unbanned him. Not good to have banned him in the first place, and idk if he always did even that well. Also not asserting the rules themselves were good- although I liked the resultant community a lot.

      But I think it does indicate some desire to act on principle, on his part. And he ultimately did- after he didn't, but eventually. And I'm skeptical we're actually going to do better than that. (This is why I keep going back to the "humans make mistakes" well.)

      (Curious what you got banned for, but I guess it was under a different name. I sometimes disagreed with those, but not always. Also, it was his blog. His decisions managing it certainly speak to his character, but I'm not sure how strong a duty of care I actually think he had.)

      Wow. You were banned "f[F]or reasons of total personal caprice. Let it be known that he has not broken any rules and the ban is not his fault. Also, this is the beginning of a Reign of Terror. Govern yourselves accordingly." Guess you weren't kidding.

      The "govern yourselves accordingly" is the key part. "You can be the National Review of the comment section but if you make good arguments, you'll be banned"

      Think I found what got you banned. (Deliberately being slightly cryptic, 'cause twitter:) It's a plausible argument. I agree the adaptation executors/fitness maximizers division is relevant, but it doesn't look to me like you were asserting that it wasn't.

      Kind of looks like a case of making a plausible claim that sounds too much like a less plausible, very taboo claim.

      Otoh, past-you is... I don't know if you're putting too much weight on genetics, but you're putting too little weight on culture. The key insight is that these aren't really separate magisteria: culture is a *response* to genetics.

      My views have changed slightly over the years but I don't think that discussion is what triggered the ban - more that I had the blog on an RSS feed and would within minutes of finishing reading new posts have a reply that pointed out the stuff that Scott elided for his argument

      Gonna go over your old stuff. It looks interesting. (Um. I'm not nrx, and probably progressive to a nonzero degree, so maybe not coalitionally aligned with you, but you've been nice to me and you have interesting arguments. I want you to know I appreciate it.)

      Thanks for saying so and you're welcome. I sincerely believe we have the best arguments and that people willing to follow them inevitably end up aligned with us so enjoy.
