This is an incredibly shrewd political move, delivered such that the Democrats are sure to fumble the response. The principle also happens to be morally right.https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/432328-trump-says-hell-sign-executive-order-for-free-speech-on-college …

Replying to @BretWeinstein
@ScottAdamsSays Scott refers to this persuasion gambit as the "High Ground Maneuver"...if standing up for free speech in our country isn't occupying the high ground, I'm not sure what is.7 replies 8 retweets 64 likes -
I'm never sure whether Scott is telling us what he honestly believes or what he wants us to believe. It's a tough road to travel to say "I'm a huge fan of hypnotic persuasion...I tell myself every morning that I'll gain money and influence... please take my words at face value."

I say the opposite of that. I say don't believe anyone who can't predict.

I've never met anyone that pretends they can't predict. The majority of ppl predict wrong, so they can't predict for real.

Doesn’t matter whether they pretend or not. Question is whether their predictions come true more often or not. Doesn’t matter whether LeBron pretends he’s good at basketball. His scores matter.

Would the fact that a person tends to predict things correctly necessarily suggest that anything he says regarding those predictions must either be honest or accurate?

No, but making correct predictions suggests that one is paying attention to the appropriate variables underlying whatever events you are predicting. Scott's observation that facts often do not have predictive value is something any professional or intuitive psychologist gets.

Correct. I am a popularizer, but the science is mature.
