Spot on take on this particular item. This actually points to a wider truth that completely undermines the classical argument for free speech - the "marketplace of ideas". Since there's no authority that actually decides, merely informal consensus team signalling dominates.https://twitter.com/St_Rev/status/1397355013962444800 …

Make noises that look on the surface like an "argument" but are actually instructions to your team - when everyone knows who's on your team and your team follows the new line. Congratulations, you've hacked consensus as long as your team is sufficiently influential.

"Completely undermines", or a patchable security flaw? Physical markets do better with laws against force and fraud. Could we somehow add something like that to an otherwise-free-speech regime (rather than free speech being fake and having to choose between state religions)?

How do you patch it? Putting a single judge in charge sounds good to my people but that's not really a marketplace of ideas is it? That's a King's court - necessary, insufficient. Putting a committee in charge leads to efforts to capture it - manipulating procedural outcomes.

Wait, is the problem with
#manipulatingProceduralOutcomes a problem with committees, or with procedures? A single judge sounds good to my people if he (somehow) enforces neutral procedures like "beliefs need evidence" rather than directly picking winners & persecuting heretics1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

MPO is a problem with both committees and procedures - committees follow procedures and there's a textbook on how to get them to always make left wing choices.

A judge that has the right incentive to find truth - he personally profits in status and money from good outcomes - will follow good rules of reasoning because those rules are how you reliably come up with correct conclusions.
