I've been publicly asked to be disinvited from a conference because of my Dec. poll on whether A Star Is Born is a problematic #metoo
scenario. Inviter publicly says he's quickly & seriously considering it. https://twitter.com/AnimaAnandkumar/status/1089519580341362689 …https://twitter.com/glenweyl/status/1089548323483201541 …

Wow. People really want to be offended..z
-
And people really want to be offended by the offended state of others. Its turtles all the way down.
-
Yes. What really scares me is that these are frequently very smart people. Who can’t break away from their “ feels”. I find that very frightening. The abandonment of logical thought.

This is why you don't delete posts, Robin.
-
I almost never do delete tweets. Usually its because I made a typo and want to replace w/ corrected version.
-
My reading-group was surprised at you deleting the relatively-tame Tweet about disrespect to Cheney vs. MLK. A typo?
-
No, that's just too minor & misunderstood to be worth bothering.
-
Ah. That's what I figured; point not worth the aggravation of dealing with the outrage-squad.

#ElephantInTheBrain@robinhanson? The tweet was up until@JustinWolfers called you out for trolling.https://twitter.com/JustinWolfers/status/1089282276855242752 … -
(How on earth can Wolfers think hyphens are needed in that use of "no one"? I empathize with his editors.)

it's twitter, if you're grammar is incorrect you are signal that you are allocating your time effectively.

Sorry to hear about this. People reflexive assuming the worst possible motive of tweets is part of what makes twitter such a cesspool. Does anybody asking for the dis-invitation actually know you?
-
I only know of the one person, and she is a stranger to me.

My two cents: Pre-empt this vapid charade (a Gang-of-4 public apology song and dance you will be expected to put on to showcase flavour-du-jour ideological bona-fides) and cancel your appearance yourself. This public treatment by that glen weyl person is really distasteful IMHO

This person posts a lot of very aggressive tweets about different people. e.g. this thing about yan lecun. When looking into the actual tweet yan lecun made it was seemingly nothing to do with sexism or inclusion, just a random academic twitter rank metrichttps://twitter.com/AnimaAnandkumar/status/1080701624945909765 …
