I don't think Vox lied about established science. I think they did an amazing set of contortions to avoid doing so.

I think that the punishment for contortions is different from the punishment for lying, especially since it's less clear.

I think it's important to preserve the concept of "honest disagreement" & understand that people are biased to overestimate dishonesty.

My guess is that most of the people on the other side think they're being honest and we are lying about the science.

Progress is possible only if we assume some basic measure of honesty and are willing to engage with best ppl on other side.

Freddie and the three people who wrote the Vox article (but not editor who titled it) are among the best people on the other side.

Freddie has some really good pieces on how, if you are losing badly, you don't have the luxury of saying "We'll never debate"

Right now hereditarianism is losing badly. We can neither refuse to debate, nor alienate people who 99% agree with us.
