@ETVPod meet @HPluckrose. I’d love to hear you two discuss PoMo, identity politics, gender differences, social justice, and music.

@tmamone tried to put us together a little bit ago but it didn’t work out. But I am always up for a chat.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

Well this is a bit embarrassing. My claim has been, like the gender studies profs at PSU, too few social justice advocates are willing to defend their side, electing to shame and boycott their critics. Is there a particular reason you won’t argue with ETV, or just busy?

We have tried before with frustrating results. I can only talk to people if they address what I am actually saying. Disagreement is fine. Persistent (deliberate?) misunderstanding and point-missing just make it a waste of time. It's OK. There are other people to talk to.

We disagreed over terminology that I thought was very relevant to her point. I’m glad that she at least agrees with me about the actual threat vs the perceived one by fearmongers, but it seems like my form of Socratic dialogue is not her cup of tea. So it goes.

That's right, yes. We were unable to discuss the substance of the issue I was raising about the problem of having different ethical expectations of different cultures because of your insistence on focusing instead on whether cultural relativism was the right term for the problem.

I remove myself from such conversations if a person keeps focusing on semantics after a maximum of three attempts of clarifying my meaning & asking that person to instead address what I mean rather than what they think I should call what I mean.

And I think you were conflating mere semantics and a key moral distinction. I saw James actually got the distinction when he claimed liberals are relativists masquerading as pluralists or something similar. Pluralism vs relativism matters a great deal. But I won’t waste your time

I'm sure it does and the distinction is important with grey areas and potentially very interesting. It just wasn't what I was talking about right then & I did not want the conversation derailed. I admit I did assume you were doing this deliberately to avoid what I was talking abt

But I'll accept that you were not if you say so. It doesn't matter much now anyway. The moment is gone & I managed to have the conversation about the issues I was addressing after muting you. Another time, we can talk about the things you want to talk about, certainly.
