How to Think: Daniel Dennett @danieldennett wants hereditarianism to be caricatured, misrepresented, and strawmannedpic.twitter.com/O8tz8Wbrd6

In this passage Dennett says we shouldn't direct this treatment at him & his friends--only at those who advocate truly dangerous hypotheses.
-
Yup. I am puzzled why he starts by criticizing Lewontin's gang, but turns to making this distinction between his friends and others
-
ironic, though, that Watson is named among the friends who should have an immunity card
-
Don't think Dennett ever called Watson a "responsible, cautious naturalist" after his 2007 comments on intelligence. Immunity card expired.
-
hmm, maybe responsible and cautious means socially desirable as opposed to epistemically reasonable?
-
"Responsible and cautious" = supports Dennett's own political views
