      Just received this about the @verybadwizards podcast: "They go at you pretty hard as a person. Not that I think you care, but I think you have kids? You might not want to listen to that one with your kids around. It’s the whole first segment of their most recent episode." Weak.

      Just got another note about it: "Jesus. It's an unbridled personal attack on you. These people are obsessed with dumping on you." What's up, @verybadwizards?

      I’ve been mixed on them. This helps me know where to land.

      I've never received so many messages telling me not to listen to something before. They must have really botched the job here.

      I'd take that advice and ignore it.

      I already don't respect them, and I've never found their show interesting, so that's not hard.

      Good. There are still people who are able to get the point and not stoop to personal attacks.

      Hoaxes in other fields are perpetrated by insiders who care about integrity (eg SCIgen). Sciences are more willing to air dirty laundry & try to fix things. I've tried asking what's been to clean house since Sokal 1.0, result: indignation at the suggestion anything could be wrong

      It's also been valuable experience for us to actually be grievance scholars for a year and get deep into the workings and requirements so we can critique it with officially recognised expertise in future. We were forever being told we don't understand it & haven't published.

      Whatever else the hoax proved, it should have invalidated the vacuous, “Educate yourself”.

      That's been a large part of it for me. To have the opportunity to research and write the stuff properly beginning to end. Revise, edit etc. Not just pick at it from the outside but do it from the inside. Really get into it.

          I think these fields need to be asked to declare their red lines: what would make them reconsider their position/allegiance? Instead of being defensive. Then let others run the experiment again
