      Im actually pretty negative about this cowen post hes got a method and sticks to it and sometimes its interesting but sometimes its tyler cowen really stretching to show that he has a subtle view of things in a way that doesnt actually illuminate interesting or salient angleshttps://twitter.com/aaronsibarium/status/1280906687881281537 …

      This from @tylercowen might be the best critique of the letter I've read. "The real problem [is] the moral fiber, emotional temperaments, and factual worldviews of the individuals who have arrogated the new speech censorship functions to themselves." https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2020/07/the-harpers-free-speech-letter-and-controversy.html …

      I think for things like open letters the text is often the least important part what matters more for understanding implications of such things: - who is saying something - with whom - publicly or privately - when

          this is of course true and addresses my angle, but i think is not a useful objection on instrumental grounds of /course/ steve sailer would sign probably but that would be neither helpful to objective of the letter, nor salient to its pointpic.twitter.com/NLBAfCn7c3

          what matters (if anything) about the open letter is that people who are prominent are signalling a break with another faction, publicly; and specifically people who might be expected to be hostile to the Real Outgroup its a flag in the ground for a media faction

          having /lots/ of signatories does not help with this, nor does having Outgroup signatories

          analogy: if half the College of the Cardinals signs an open letter regarding Donatism, that matters in the Church getting further signatures from Bob the Anglican in London and from Ayatollah Khamenei? This would confuse the issue at best

          Open letter reminds me of "international law" which on the one hand is useless, if judging it like national law, but on the other is real on the sense of being on the record for a certain position within a consensus reality

          Same thing with certain types of votes in congress. It's not about passing anything, so in that sense it's useless. But now we know where every stands as an indelible record, which is very useful. The vote is justified as an end unto itself. We vote to see how we vote.
