very weird defense of group think / single consensus (RTed via @greatdismal, @amendlocke )
Personally I think that more IT -> more partitioning of the consensus is a GOOD thing
Different cultures is GOOD
Exit is GOOD
Aren't we told by our betters that diversity is strength?https://twitter.com/MCSpaceCadet/status/1167130412453285888 …

2/ > Science is not diverse in outcomes We wouldn't have the replication crisis if that were true > Diversity of belief in science's validity causes social weakness 1) evidence for this assertion pls? 2) I don't grant that "social weakness" is badhttps://twitter.com/MCSpaceCadet/status/1167205710846779393 …

Rob Jellinghaus @MCSpaceCadetReplying to @MorlockP @GreatDismal @amendlockeDiversity is strength... until it involves the outright denial of consensus reality. Science is not diverse in its outcomes (though it must be in its process) -- that is what makes it science. Diversity of belief in science's validity causes social weakness, not strength.4 replies 1 retweet 10 likesShow this thread -
3/ > Diversity is strength... until it involves the outright denial of consensus reality I find it interesting you are not upset at people denying TRUTH, but at denying CONSENSUS.
If I assert intelligence is very heritable (true, but anti-consensus) is that good or bad?1 reply 0 retweets 10 likesShow this thread -
4/ If I were a citizen of the Soviet Union in 1950 and denied the * consensus * scientific assertion that Lysenokism was true, would that be bad, because I'm undercutting the consensus reality?

5/ You're moving goal posts. Your initial tweet said IT enabling lots of opinions was bad because it denied consensus reality...without regard to whether the consensus is correct or not. Now you're ret-conning that to "possibility of consensus". Odd.
