      What do you think of the criticism that many have posted? His perspective feels incomplete. See: https://twitter.com/PsychRabble/status/934856798720413697 … and others.

      An interesting thread by @Noahpinion Noah Smith starts below, arguing, in short, that speech and academic freedom is not a threat on most campuses. I start a new one here on why I think he is wrong. https://twitter.com/Noahpinion/status/934827937068589057 …

      I don’t know what to think! TBH I’m all ready to be swept up by this moral panic, and it would probably be a good thing. I just appreciate that someone is willing to say, “Hey, wait a minute...”

      Or maybe this debate and market making of stances is the process by which we figure out and mediate these things;)

      The meta game around free speech is interesting to me. Wish there was more analysis if it from that framing.

      I view free speech as one of the few areas that people who typically aren't fixed hold fixed and sacred. All things fixed are ripe for metag

      Oh cool, yeah, all those dynamics are super interesting. FWIW, I fall on the “very strongly fixed” end of the spectrum. Hard (but not impossible) for me to entertain unfixing. p.s. get yourself a 280-char twitter client!!
