This is an amazing tweet. The biologist @pzmyers in a thread with my brother & fellow biologist @BretWeinstein. @pzmyers is making the case that nothing bad happens to professors who violate leftist orthodoxy.
This is brutal leftist reality denial on a scale unfathomable to me.https://twitter.com/pzmyers/status/1115419028514791425 …
Worth noting that if you check Google Scholar, PZ Myers has published very few journal papers, hasn't been cited much, and hasn't done much original research in about 20 years. He's an ideologue and a blogger, not an active scientist. https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=1%2C32&as_vis=1&q=pz+myers&btnG= …

If you want to play this game, why don't you compare Myers' output to Weinstein's?

Are you implying that a Managing Director at a VC should have more published academic works than say someone who’s main occupation is an academic?

It's worse than that. He's become a de facto evolution denier even though he'd say otherwise.

Lots of followers for an otherwise unknown professor.

He used to be quite popular in the "new atheists" circuit until his truly limitless dickeshness made even militant atheists (like me) despise him.

His game isn't hard to pin down either: enter an arena in bad faith. Make spurious accusations. Siphon replies for the lowest hanging fruit. Retweet for his followers as evidence of the enemy's validity. Rinse, repeat
