    Helen Pluckrose Retweeted Heterodox Academy

    It is absolutely right to say that it is not the case that anything can be published. It has to be precisely the right kind of nonsense. There is a complex orthodoxy at work here that needs to be navigated very carefully. Remember the Rebecca Tuvel case. A minefield, in fact.https://twitter.com/HdxAcademy/status/1050036721105203201 …

        It is probably true to say that we mastered it better in gender studies fields than in race ones but don't overlook that our feminist stuff is intersectional so incorporates critical race theory and our feminist epistemology includes critical race epistemology.

        I think it would be more true to say that we managed to get more acceptance of papers which problematized masculinity than anything else. We wrote about that in the New Statesman.pic.twitter.com/bIuhzLVGw2

        However, there is a problem with looking at the project in terms only of papers accepted or likely to be accepted. More can be gleaned by looking at the hundreds of papers we cited to enable us to make the claims we did & the reviews & how they consistently directed us.

        I disagree most strongly with the ethical criticisms. We did have to fake our identities and motivations. If we'd sent in the papers with our names & stated that our intention was to get bad papers published, the project would have ended there. Sometimes you have to go undercover

        And I don't agree that, if this kind of hoax became widespread, it would be the hoaxing that undermined confidence in peer review. It would still be whether or not the peer review process successfully weeded out papers that were unsound and unethical.

        Replying to @HPluckrose

        A questionable aspect of the Heterodox piece is seeming to grant a higher degree of credibility to a field due to the fact that the trio truly had to learn the language of the field. But the same could be said of Scientology, or any religion. The why of the language is left blank

        The parallel has long existed in visual arts under postmodernism: ostensibly it's all "anything goes" now, to the outside viewer, but in reality the gatekeepers have very clear criteria: no modernism (that's over, doncha know?), only art that "explores issues" from a leftist POV.

        I have two college aged children. In high school and for college appls, they wrote lots of essays. Both talked about the sjw prompts given. My daughter was great at feeding “readers” what they wanted to hear. My son, not so much. Grades reflected that. Different opinion not okay

        Very important point! You have to pay lip service to the politics and know the "lore" in order to publish anything in those fields.

        I think your initial rejections followed by a rousing success rate correlate well with your claim.

        I haven't read your whole situation, did you intentionally target lower impact-factor journals to expose the problem this way? Or was it, as it has been characterized, an attack on gender and race studies in general? If the latter, I don't see the utility. If the former, great.

This is how the response should have looked if the response was from people familiar with philosophy and thought experiments.
