... of their own biases. They are good at pointing out others though. Again, see Sam Harris for endless illustrations of this in action.

1/2 Listened to Sam interview a gun advocate from the NRA. He let him talk, and was sympathetic to his points. I *hate* guns, and couldn't be more unsympathetic. The guy made some good points, and some very bad points. My opinion is unchanged, but I found it a worthwhile listen.

2/2 ...because it's very rare to hear clever people from the 'other side' being able to explain their views. On average, Sam's expressed opinions put him staunchly progressive. Regardless, I can't understand what's wrong with him talking to people.

This really is a worrying development. Why can't we just say "I thought that person made a bad argument or believes a false thing or made a bad judgement about who to talk to" and then evaluate them on what their own values are?

We can... and we should. But we also shouldn’t act like networks people are involved in are entirely irrelevant. This is Rubin’s schtick and it requires wilful ignorance to ignore the blatant patterns in content.

Throw Rubin out of your mind You're not listening to Helen. It's about the work. Rubin has nothing to do with anything here.

He's not going to listen to me. He's going to go on about how I collaborate with someone who has spoken with someone who has said bad things and also possibly could be said to have the biases associated with a certain kind of classical liberal. Its like the project didn't happen.

Sigh... if you say so. I thought we were having broader discussion and it was ok to make references to things we both understand to illustrate a point. Your summary of my position reads to me as very convenient. I thought I was clear about value of the project but nevermind.

You have to realize by now that these people are not arguing in good faith.

He's still there stalking and obsessing. I'm going to have to block him. I can't see him bit other people keep getting dragged into his nastiness.
