Diamond has received an enormous amount of criticism and I'm interested in figuring out which of it is justified, since his books/ideas/perspective is very interesting in general. The criticism almost uniformly comes from entrenched academic anthropologists who have motive.

so how do you wade through a swamp consisting of potential politically motivated attacks/false allegations, and also real methodological failures, some of which are due to naivety and others possibly serious flaws that would warrant rejecting his work.

that seems egregious. on the other hand, where did New Guinea tribesmen get a copy of the New Yorker, let alone be able to read it? And where did they get a lawyer (and how are they paying the lawyer?) also the link to the original reporting is ded http://www.stinkyjournalism.org/latest-journalism-news-updates-149.php …

you see what I'm saying? like, something doesn't add up. at minimum one of Diamond's political enemies in the U.S. flew to New Guinea, found the dudes, read them the story, and convinced to sue (I'm sure civil litigation in foreign countries is something they do all the time...)

this… actually has a lot going for it how much more accurate a description of nrx is "neoprescriptivism" than "neoreaction"
