A simile: Richard Dawkins has gammon for brains and, like a small child, doesn't understand how politicians can instigate hate crimes in the UK through ridiculing the clothing of minority groups, all for the purpose of bolstering their political base for a run at PM.https://twitter.com/RichardDawkins/status/1028363042755694595 …

It's morally praiseworthy to mock and criticize the accouterments of unethical worldviews. If wearing silly purple socks correlated highly with being a scientologist, insulting the purple socks would be morally good. Incentivizing people to leave Islam and Scientology is good.

So you’ll be singing my praises for saying that Boris Johnson and Richard Dawkins are gammon.

If Dawkins and Johnson had weird hair or something that correlated with an ideology that I thought was unethical, I'd be in favor of you mocking that hair. Calling them gammon isn't quite analogous. Though I don't think a culture where people call each other hams is bad?

I’m not here to debate random people that are obviously wrong for nothing. May be best to go somewhere else.

In your philosophy of science work, do you do philosophy of biology/philosophy of race? Or do you mostly focus on the nature of scientific theories and what is and isn't science? This isn't a gotcha or anything, I'm curious about your research interests.
