He's channelling Foucault. Never channel Foucault. https://twitter.com/clairlemon/status/860234736563765249 …
I don't think he's trying to encapsulate all of Foucault's work in three tweets, no. Do you think Foucault would disagree with him?

-
no, depends on the takeaway, which I can't tell from the tweets-- it's *purpose* of showing social construction of criminality that matters
-
and i'm too lazy to go to dash's feed and see what's what
-
Yes, quite. There are limits on the degree to which criminality is socially constructed and changeable.
-
And I don't know if he's drawing them either. What he is saying is consistent with Foucault on criminality & that was my only point.
-
...and not wrong, on that score. Comparing that to climate change is silly, and arguing contra delinking criminality & genetics equally so
-
There will be a right answer to whether its heritable as there is to climate change questions but ways of measuring have varied.

i think anil's right on this one, not you (something I would rarely say: "anil's right!"). Not so into this eugenicist strain of thought
-
??? I thought we agreed that we don't know whether he's applying this with reasonable limitations or not. Where did eugenics come in?
