      Robin Hanson is too pure and good for this world. He is the unironic "they hated Jesus because he told them the truth" meme.

      I like Robin alot. Have for years. But these incel tweets were tone deaf. Why the hell would you hamfistedly bring the concept of redistribution anywhere near the topic of this particular suffering? And in 280 characters?

          Don't like the phrase "tone deaf", it implies that the job of a public intellectual is to sing in harmony with the rest of society

          he's laid out his justifications, if you like you can disagree with them on the merits, not on "tone"

          I didn't say I disagree on the merits. But I don't have to in order to think the reaction was as much his making as it was other people's refusal to look the truth in the eye. I often agree with ineffective communication *on the merits* but that doesn't make it effective.

          the reaction was his making in that he didn't shy away from it, sure. that's one of the things I admire about him.

          No I'm talking about initial tweets. I read them and thought "Why would he frame it this way, people are going to totally misunderstand what he means" It's just ineffective to get the truth out that way. Be clear, be persuasive. If people STILL freak out, fine, they're wrong.

          this feels like victim-blaming to me. he wasn't unclear, and it's not his job to maximize harmoniousness, not his fault if you freak out

          you can say that people shouldn't use twitter because there's not enough room for nuance maybe?
