    Helen Pluckrose Retweeted Rainer Brömer

    I think this is the problem tho. Taking this consistent approach to not evaluating people by gender, race or sexuality seems so obvious that people neglect to defend it and argue for it. We thought we'd won that one.https://twitter.com/rbromer/status/1053723175358513152 …

    Helen Pluckrose added,

    It's really tragic that these obvious insights still require reiterating and are even controversial among educated people. Essential reading (while it should be completely self-evident) https://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/1053715274749431809 …

        Indeed. Just as we thought we’d won the Cold War. The problem is when you win, you come to take that status for granted. So you lower your defenses, and success gradually morphs into failure.

        Maybe it's the mixed messages: we said no discrimination, then we made it mandatory with quotas. And then there's Harvard...

        Seems particularly prevalent in the English-speaking sphere - not seeing it that much in continental Europe. Replacing one type of essentialism by another - nothing gained. Just goes to confirm that humanism is never won: ongoing struggle; an insight to aggravate midlife crises

        If free speech is dependant on opinion, sexism, racism, and every other ism can be equally rationalised to mean anything to suit any purpose. This is why some things are sacrosanct.
