That’s it. I’m no longer identifying as an evolutionary psychologist because I can’t stop the public from associating the field with stuff like this. I honestly can’t tell if he’s serious or trolling anymore.https://twitter.com/primalpoly/status/992538975087747072 …

I think this tweet was poorly worded, yeah, but also the fact you - as a visible figure within the field - are writing things with Tucker Max is a continued embarrassment to EP (which already has quite the image problem). Definitely getting it the wrong kind of popular press.
Who's really embarrassing ev psych - the people trying to do public outreach that's genuinely accessible, or the people using 'guilt by association' and PC orthodoxy as ways to judge other people's scientific and societal contributions?

My argument isn't based on concerns with PC, but about the very low qualify of this particular brand of pop EP. And Tucker is sadly not the deepest EP thinker, so I'm assuming your collaboration with him is solely for the association value. That's why I'm calling you out on that.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
