Religious challenges at that time of religious strife and European wars were seen as political challenges. In other words: The Church saw Galileo as appealing to science when he was really making a political argument, and not fessing up to it. And they weren't really wrong.
That you're appealing to the authority of science to justify a blatantly political sentiment and calling it Galileo is... appropriate, I guess? But not probably in the way you mean it to be?
Galileo was explicit and historically notable in making the case that the bible does not trump science. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_to_Benedetto_Castelli … and many other places. This whole twitter storm is either deliberate or ignorant historical malpractice on your part.
You've gotta read more than a single document on Wikipedia for your historical understanding, sorry. There are a million good books on the Galileo Affair out there — track one down.
I have. You just didn't make your case. Weinstein is looking for a person to represent a commitment to the supremacy of scientific evidence over non-scientific concerns. Galileo was complicated, so are we all, but I can hardly think of a better person to use for this purpose.
I will also just say, as a historian: I cannot conceive of how you think Twitter's policy about the use of deadnaming as a form of harassment will impact historical practice. If you don't like the policy, OK, but don't invoke my profession in your defense. It's ridiculous.
You dont seem to understand what is at stake here. This is not a joke. It looks like its silly but i assure you they are not joking about this deadnaming thing.
Good. Don't deadname people and you'll be fine. Do it, and you deserve the ban.
What if i want to talk about Mrs Jenner when she won an olympic medal? Should i be banned for adequately representing reality? You dont seem to realise how deep this rabbit hole goes. But hey, if it makes you *feel* good and righteous, then why even think about it right ?
Didn't you just effectively talk about her in that timeframe while avoiding deadnaming? Fancy that. This isn't rocket science. This is not the Spanish Inquisition. People are insisting you not harass people and you're insisting that's persecution.
You dont get it and thats ok.
When you get banned that'll be ok too.
When *YOU* get banned for some wrongspeech in the future maybe you will understand then. Banning people from saying the truth is very dangerous. Freedom of speech isnt just a nice concept, its the foundation of a civilised society. *You* are the barbarian at the gate.
