      Helen Pluckrose Retweeted Citizen Cain #FBPE #GTTO

      This is a common and infuriating confusion. People who put forth arguments on how scholarship should work are not declaring themselves supreme ruler of the world who has the right to make it happen. We all have precisely the same entitlement to decide how things should be.https://twitter.com/Servalan73Ruth/status/1053349986396766208 …

      Replying to @HPluckrose @Legal_Equality
      With all genuine respect, Helen, writing some articles which have exposed the lunacies of identitarian scholarship does not in itself entitle you to decide how and why the vast topic of gender should be studied.

      Then, in an ideal world, we get together and make these arguments strongly. Reserve telling people they're "not entitled to decide how and why the vast topic of gender should be studied" for those who are trying to decide this for *other people* by enforcing certain perspectives.

      Like Applebaum, Weber and Bailey in Hypatia paper "Joke's on You" (HoH2) who justify having students agree to one perception of society or like the many people we have seen today who want the government to shut down gender studies programmes.

      Telling someone they don't have the right to decide how things should be when they are making an argument for how things should be is bewildering. Do they believe the arguer thinks they have the right to decide things for everyone? Or do they think they shouldn't make arguments?

      Whatever someone is arguing about how things should be approached, don't tell them they don't have the right to decide how things should be approached. We all have that right. We have no right to force *others* to approach it that way. We have to make our arguments win the day.

      I think this usually means "You should respect all ways of knowing." Well, I don't. I respect your right to argue for all ways of knowing while disagreeing with the arguments you're making & not telling you that you're not entitled to decide we should respect all ways of knowing.

      And this is why I need to go off Twitter. I have zero patience right now. I am tired out by all this and worried about a very sick family member. I need a break. No more checking notifications until at least next week.

          Hi Helen. I want to say "keep it up", but this is the 3rd time in ~1.5weeks I've seen you tweet you need a break, so do it. DELETE THE APP it helps. You can reinstall it later. It takes more energy to clean bullshit than make it. There will always be more fires to put out later✌️

          There is more than one valid, legitimate, way of knowing. Academia sacralizes one of them and eschews the others. See item #2, WEIRD Rationalism, in this essay:https://heterodoxacademy.org/constructive-criticism-hxa-open-mind-conference/ …
