No, it’s not. The problem isn’t “raising uncomfortable idea”, it’s the way he refuses to engage with any criticism by claiming he doesn’t stand for anything or that he doesn’t care about details. It’s all over that thread.

its just that most of the criticism is really boring what empirical claim(s) do you object to and why?

^ you’re sort of repeating his problem here. He deliberately avoids ever making empirical claims, and then claims only empirical criticisms, which he’s precluded, as valid. But to humor you, I’ll outline some issues -

It posits “sex inequality” and “income inequality” as being somehow similar to each other. “Why do the same people advocate for one but not the other?”. What about these things are similar? Their effects? Their structure? Their causes? Society’s tools to resolve them?

It must be ONE of these things, but he won’t say which. Otherwise, “why do people advocate for endangered jellyfish but not monetary policy reform?” makes equal sense

His tweet *implies* many incorrect empirical frameworks, as listed above, and necessitates the he believes some of them in order to be coherent. But because he never commits to a position, he handwaves all criticism by claiming he’s “just asking questions”.

i dunno eigen imagine if people just went around in public, asking questions they didn't already have positions on sounds pretty scandalous to me tbh what's next, living in a barrel in the forum?
