      "Destroying civilization"? Let's see, inclusion of minority narratives, even if rather incoherent, is "destroying civilization." How could that be, unless by "civilization" you implicitly really mean white, European/American civilization.🤔 https://twitter.com/peterboghossian/status/1162471237441900544 …

      That's maliciously uncharitable. He is speaking out against a particularly divisive and conspiratorial ideology based on shaky postmodern-style epistemology. He sees it as fuel for the fire of civilization-endangering polarization seen in the US, of which he sees 45 as a symptom.

      No. He’s a buffoon who thinks culture is static, and any attempt to consciously divorce ourselves of our behaviours that excluded everyone but the dominant class is a threat to his culture. It probably is. But it needs to die.

      Yes, it is polarizing to suggest that finally, after hundreds of years, we listen to any experience other than of white dudes like him. Because some people are bigots. The restbof us just get over it and move on with our lives, better for the diversity of knowledge.

      And that would be true. We are all subject to implicit bias and sexism as it is inculcated in us by our culture. The data shows this, we all carry implicit biases, all sexes races etc. The answer isn't to deny we carry baggage that is racist and sexist, but to try to improve.

      Yup. We all have implicit biases. Every. Single. One. Of. Us. The question is what we do once we know this: Deny it and let our racist and sexist biases rule us, or admit it and try to consciously push them back into the dark recesses of our subconscious when we recognize them.

          Replying to @gorskon @MarkHoofnagle and

          Anytime someone links a study or post a list of studies deemed "political correctness gone mad" or similar, I always look at how many times they have been cited. Usually 0 times, which means that they went by largely unnoticed even in the specialized field being "critiqued".

          That kind of deceptive technique is also trivial and uninteresting. I can link a single or even a list of biomedical papers that are complex to the point of obscurity or even outright ridiculous and batshit. Does not mean that biomedicine is a nonsense field.
