Please see the original thread and this one where I have said all I want to say about this. https://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/998130191561101312 … Obviously, you must be able to investigate this with volunteers & it could be productive. I'll object to attempts to intrude & thought-police in wider life.
I wrote a thread which explains what *I* am talking about. I can only ask you to read it and respond only to what I have said. Perhaps you are detecting hidden meaning advocating limiting researchers on their topics of study but I cannot be held responsible for them.

I thought you were objecting to the claim “all white people are racist,” but looking back at our thread I see you don’t object to it explicitly. So maybe I misunderstood...

And I thought you were saying that the epistemological you mention make claims that are at least roughly in this vicinity. So I thought you were objecting to these epistemologists on that basis. But you don’t explicitly say you object to them, so maybe I misunderstood.

My focus is different to your focus. I make no claims about whether it is true or false to say that all white people are racist. This will depend on the definition of racist & rigorous research into it. I am talking about the rights of people to their own thoughts.
-
This is now an entirely separate point from the argument I was advancing above, but I think I also am skeptical that people have “rights to their own thoughts,” at least on one disambiguation of this phrase. But I’m not sure you’re interest so I won’t push that line here.

If you don't follow me & you don't read my stuff & you are working from a completely different angle to my ethical/cultural/political one, u will not know the context of my arguments which are rooted in universal liberalism & empiricism. I cannot cover this much ground in tweets

I’m skeptical on grounds that classic liberals/empiricists can accept. WK Clifford (“The Ethics of Belief”) argues it’s always wrong to believe without sufficient evidence. This would seem to entail people don’t have a “right” to their own beliefs, when not backed by evidence.

Researchers must be able to research these kinds of things in any way they like whether it is Haidt's moral foundation, implicit bias research or race IQ. This, however, is not the topic of the thread. You can see the topic of the thread by reading it.

https://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/1002203091016585218 … I look at current debates around how to address social justice issues. As a researcher, you might interpret this completely differently as some kind of plan to limit researchers if said by a researcher in the context of research but I'm not & it isn't.
