sure, i know. i tried to pack too much into a tweet and came off wrong. what i should have said was "i wouldn't take as a given that AGW is even a thing that exists" or something like that. i didn't mean to suggest perfidy on the part of anyone here, just some people 30 yrs ago.

thanks for expanding on this, I did react a bit negatively to the idea that the only options are opposing ideological poles

yr welcome. that's a thing that i dislike as well. a worse thing imo, a friend of mine posits two opposing poles and insists reality is dead center, totally drives me crazy.

so obviously the response is Alice (crazy right-winger): kill all the jews Bob (crazy left-winger): kill none of the jews Thanos (sensible centrist): kill 50% of the jews

he also likes "extreme left wing craziness x is okay because of extreme right wing craziness y", so that a thing doesn't have to be evaluated on its own merits

Replying to @mr_archenemy @chaosprime and
ooh, let me steelman that: extreme right wing craziness is often justified at the instrumental level as being aimed at moving the overton window - like a non-serious low starting offer to initiate bartering. Left wing craziness should maybe be viewed through the same lens.

Replying to @hikikomorphism @mr_archenemy and
ah right so then the crazy-left winger position is "kill everybody except the jews" making the centrist position "kill nobody" good steelman

the second one seems like a more reliable enhancement to my social status but do you have anything in a shadowy cabal of international conspirators
