That was the problem I was having! But this Daily Beast article does an excellent job: https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-curious-case-of-daryl-davis-the-black-man-befriending-members-of-the-kkk … One of his "friends" shot at someone at Charlottesville, and Daryl Davis helped put up his bail money. WTF is wrong with this guy?

My point still stands. We should make room for the weirdos in the world, like Daryl and Scott, rather than trying to cancel them for trying a different approach. 100% success rate is a strange requirement. We each have our unique role to play in this world.

I didn't say anything about canceling Davis, dude. Your reading comprehension is very poor.

Right. You wouldn't cancel Davis. But would you cancel Scott?

"Cancel" is imprecise. I definitely don't want him to be allowed to treat patients!

Do you have evidence that he's bad at treating patients? What if his patients like him and are being helped by him? Why shouldn't he be allowed to treat patients?

If he's both such a great doctor and such a great writer and thinker then how could being "doxed" possibly harm his career Wouldn't people knowing their doctor was the great Scott Alexander send people flooding toward his practice

How much experience do you have with the psychiatric profession? Seems like you are either unaware of, or simply disregard the notion that the psychiatrist's personal life shouldn't be part of the therapy.

The infantilization of mental health patients and this absurd idea that because someone is a practicing clinician they deserve an automatic presumption of good faith is the worst damn thing about the system

This idea that you can't fire your therapist because, after all, you're the crazy one and you don't know what's good for you so if you really wanted to get better you'd shut up and take it

Right, I mean - the patients can either go to him or not, having found out what he believes. He can reject patients who want to ask him about his politics, if he thinks it damages their relationships.

There's no issue here for patients, who can look into their therapists' backgrounds, or not. It's only a problem if he thinks he should be entitled to *secrecy*.
