Everybody has an ideology. “Not having an ideology” is an ideology. Centrism is an ideology. Liberalism in the broad sense is an ideology. I guarantee you that you have an ideology.

Your point being...? (You should look up the
@Quillette post about post-modernism as argument technique.) Skepticism is applying skills and effort against ideological thinking. It doesn't have to apply only to science.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -
Fucking Quillette, haha. And nothing I said has anything to do with post-modernism as an argument tactic or anything else, not that I’ve met more than a handful of “skeptics” who have any idea what post-modernism is.

Uh huh. Just earned yourself a mute. And, ironically, provided a great example of ideologically-motivated thinking. Have fun in your bubble.

Quillette?


Seriously, You've just summed up Quillette perfectly. It's pseudointellectual mental masturbation for the "Intellectual Dark Web."2 replies 0 retweets 7 likes -

Seriously? You just made
@Quillette's point perfectly. Very disappointing response from someone who ostensibly supports skeptical thinking. How about less ad hom and more open query? Some of the content there is excellent.2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

I've read Quillette a fair amount before deciding it wasn't worth my time. I've yet to be particularly impressed by anything I've read there, and I have seen quite a few seriously cringeworthy articles. I stand by my characterization, and don't particularly care if it offends you

Uggh. NeoReason for closet libertarians. Clickbait for unenlightened self interest. And unironically claiming the nonideologic high ground while fighting for the privileged to maintain status quo.

Not to mention a healthy helping of biological racism.

Oh my god yes. Their obsession with male and white racial IQ superiority, to hell with confounding, is a red flag.

We need to just call it out for what it is - catnip for middle aged white dudes.
