I'm starting to think it's intellectual malpractice to write/talk about privilege, class, oppression, etc. without revealing at least 2 generations of family and educational history. There is a suspicious pattern of 2nd/3rd generation privilege joining the privilege commentariat.

I’m more arguing that we should judge logic and evidence on its merits and care less about who’s providing the data. But again, this doesn’t apply to cases where the author’s authority is critical, like with personal anecdotes.

It also doesn't apply where the domain is really complex and opinions are presented in the form of loose narrative arguments with a lot of ideological gesturing. It's not like an analytic philosophy paper where you can trace argument rigorously from presumptions to conclusions.
