The question was whether or not culture is definitely the cause of many sex diffs.
@JPdeRuiter pointed out this is not settled. Agree? -
Well, my question to JP was different: what was his communicative intent?
-
Yeah, that's what I got. You were crystal clear.
-
Seems strange to question intent rather than the claim itself.
-
Is it not important to understand each other well? (Especially when trying to have intelligible discussion on twitter).
-
No such thing as statement itself, and JP (linguist and communication researcher) knows. This is/was my common ground with him.
-
Fine, but in all this we've become derailed. What is your empirical argument against JP's statement? Is there one or is it ethical?
-
I interpret his statement (in contxt) to mean there is no evidence that essentialism is not true. But then who has the burden of proof?
