I hope I'm right, but I don't expect the NYT article on Scott Alexander to be a hit piece. It's revealing that so many worry it will be, though. Few would have 10 years ago. But it's a more dangerous time for ideas now than 10 years ago, and the NYT is also less to be trusted.

I'm not sure about that. They were a loud group no doubt (augmented by the media), but a minority. Employees who agreed with Zuckerberg or were neutral were afraid of reprisal for speaking up. The majority want to do great work and work with great people, regardless of ideology.

Any codified rules won’t work. The issue must be solved at its root through better education of the population. A better educational system will be more strongly rooted in Western philosophical traditions, and be clear and elevated about what is praiseworthy and what blameworthy.

No-I would argue this is exactly not what will work. Some of the most educated amongst us (see: Yale campus) are completely ignorant when it comes to the issue of expressing multiple viewpoints. They want to cancel anyone for saying anything that is against a particular ideology

Wouldn’t that create moral hazard and a selection bias for those with the most extremist ‘want to watch the world burn’ views looking for protections?
