Here's a thing about enforced ideological conformity...it's just very boring. Why would you want never to hear anything vaguely challenging?

@philosophyexp A very good reason to listen to the less privileged! I think you have blinkers on.
@mollydot Except it isn't a very good reason to listen to the less privileged. It's merely a reason to seek to ameliorate lack of privilege.

@philosophyexp Can that be done without listening to the less privileged? -
@mollydot Too complex for twitter. But basically I reject the assumption that people's lives & experiences are transparent to themselves. -
@philosophyexp But they're going to have different viewpoint. Wouldn't listening only to privileged voices be boring? -
@mollydot Oh absolutely. I'm not saying that the testimony of the non-privileged is unimportant! Just it doesn't reach the bar for knowledge -
@philosophyexp But surely reaches the bar for avoiding ideological conformity and increasing the chance of being vaguely challenged? -
@mollydot Yes. I was undone by the twitter convo structure. I agree completely. (I thought your original response was to a different tweet!) -
@philosophyexp Reading back, I see how that happened. Oops! -
@mollydot My fault. I thought your 9.03pm tweet was a response to one of my responses to you - not to one of my original tweets. - 1 more reply
