This thread is more personal than most of the things I share here, but I’m at my limit with Jason Hickel. I want to explain why I dislike him so much and how we got here. This is a personal story over several years so it’ll take a bit of time.
This comes with the territory once you become sufficiently visible. If you tell the truth, you're inevitably going to contradict some ideologue's axioms. They need to find some way to explain you away, and many will lie if they need to.
So my advice will sound a bit grim, but it is: 1. There is not much you can do about this. 2. Except to be prepared for even more of it in the future.

I'd take it a step further and say that such idealogues form *because of* the dominant view of truth.
That is to say, I expect that I'd have a more successful career (in many salient ways) if I decided to do what Jason does instead of what Max does. For most this will be far more true, and for many doing what Max does will not even be an option but doing what Jason does is
