IMO, many of these pundits can't grok it when they see strong disagreeableness function well within a frame of mutual respect, nor do they possess the kind of systems thinking required to probe their own models rather than assume incoherence when they find themselves confusedhttps://twitter.com/HeatherEHeying/status/1134336441549434881 …
Hmm, IMO there's an important distinction between the axes "appropriate confidence ranges" and "perceived appropriateness of strength/weakness of claim/value." The Overton window affects both, but especially the latter, and it doesn't feel like it ought to be so context-dependent

It is possible to have relatively low confidence in a strong claim, and there's a difference between saying "it's probably generally sensible to have lower confidence in stronger claims" and "it's generally sensible to hold weaker claims"

You’re a gold mine of new terms. Here’s a theory: I believe for reasons such as increasing agenda driven resources and channels for political messageing and increasingly fragmented discourse that the Overton window for our politicians is progressively shrinking in recent years.

This is a loosely held opinion formed when I just googled the word Overton window two minutes ago.
