I follow a few people who are still "just the flu, bro"-ing, or were until recently. I didn't unfollow anyone for that. being wrong ain't a crime

correct but craven < loudly wrong; that's why I was (am?) so scornful of those who were quiet about astute worries https://twitter.com/sonyasupposedly/status/1243812624841576448?s=21 …https://twitter.com/sonyasupposedly/status/1243812624841576448 …

sonya! supposedly? @sonyasupposedlyReplying to @JeffLadishin Kelsey's comment, she describes holding back due to optics concerns: http://archive.is/dLd1i "I think the thing that made it hard to shout 'fire' was much more 'having a position of perceived authority and reasonableness'" prioritizing image over substance3 replies 0 retweets 22 likesShow this thread -
can't feel good https://twitter.com/sonyasupposedly/status/1243813073565044736?s=21 … my time will come, I'm sure, facing a quandary like this. I hope that I'll be brave and eat the criticism, even if my warning (or whatever) turns out to be ill-advisedpic.twitter.com/UJ1xNt6fIZ

I got more-than-usual pushback on criticizing Kelsey because 1) people like her as a person https://twitter.com/mattparlmer/status/1243775803571212288?s=21 … 2) damn sonya you're really gonna punish someone introspecting on why they made the wrong choice? well... yes, if their introspection is so revealinghttps://twitter.com/mattparlmer/status/1243775803571212288 …

Matt Parlmer 🌐 🌷 🌇 @mattparlmerReplying to @mattparlmer @LamaAlRajih @KelseyTuocKelsey doesn't get a pass for her facilitation of this crap just because she's embedded in clubby rationalist social circles and people think she's a nice person. Similarly, Vox's newsroom doesn't get a pass on public scrutiny when they fuck up and then double down on the fuckup.3 replies 0 retweets 24 likesShow this thread -
is it fair? no. Kelsey is worth a million of Zack Beauchamp, even in the disturbing case where she stays at Vox indefinitely and dedicates herself to being a creature of the consensus machine, as
@St_Rev so neatly noted3 replies 0 retweets 27 likesShow this thread -
do I feel bad? also no. plug Kelsey's thread into Twitter search, she got plenty of encouragement. all that social status that she made sure to preserve? well, it worked. the seeming of reasonableness, the performance of being epistemically worthy, that was and remains the point

Vox and its ilk aren't about providing you with information; they're about providing you with the feeling that you've been informed
