Ppl take such huge leaps. They make connections in their own minds from one view to a whole field of others & argue against them.

Not once did I claim to have knowledge of whether criminality is heritable or a prescription for what to do abt it & in fact, I have neither
-
Yet my observation that someone was expressing Foucauldian ideas (which I do have knowledge of) & opinion that this is bad was read as both

After assuming I am claiming this knowledge & prescribing eugenics, he thanked me for the conversation. Had to point out we didn't have one.

In same way, someone recently decided I was a Trump supporter & Brexiteer coz I said minority groups have diverse political views.

So, rather than address the issue of political diversity, I was harangued on how I've fucked my country by voting 'leave.' (I didn't)

You stepped in the realm of biology and criminology. Welcome. It's nice here. Be prepared for more of these accusations.

This is why I recommended Boutwell earlier. This field scares people and countering it in any way will get you into trouble.

Boutwell? I have no intention of going near the field. I have no understanding and little interest in genetics.

My point was. You were entering this field. Criminal behaviour is partly genetic. This is what happens.

OK, I didn't mean to enter the field. Who is Boutwell?

I know you didn't mean to. My first tweet recommending him was an obscure warning. Not clear enough. Sorry.

Yes. You have a habit of doing that.
I saw and smiled. Knowing some one would not like what you said & you not getting what just happened. - 4 more replies
