Dr. Gunther isn't impressed by the evidentiary standards in Abundance. But her own book, "The Language of Climate Politics" is full of incredibly blatant lies and statistical misrepresentations. Last year George Morrison at Breakthrough wrote about a few of them. 🧵

@Noahpinion It’s not that everything belongs to the state but rather that laws create and define property and entitlement more generally. This is true right? Do we have any natural law theorists left outside of a quirky guy or two at Notre Dame?
Why does Taylor Lorenz constantly find herself in the center of online drama?
It's because she can't separate her job as a journalist with her desire to be an influencer.
@apralky btw the reason colloquially conversing in distributional terms (normal curves, IQ brackets, σ-shorthands) is such a discursive superweapon is that the right-chud IQ-maxxers, who traditionally appeal to being the mathematical autist side of the debate, immediately get oneshotted…
@apralky Is this a bit, or do you guys really think this “no wordcels allowed” treehouse where you argue about IQ like dragon ball z power levels, makes you sound cool?
tech-adjacent people have this quirk where because they’re unfamiliar with the existing literature, they assume nobody is working from agreed-upon definitions and all must be without form and void

Really nothing better to sum up the current moment like Trump pulling the greatest mathematician alive’s grant as Tsinghua university’s president is drooling like a starved animal while our reasonable centrists are like “uhm well he did sign a woke letter 5 years ago”

Oh no, Terrence Tao doesn’t like police brutality that disproportionately affects minorities, guess we should take away his funding. I am a Very Serious Liberal by the way

This sort of illustrates my fundamental problem with “rationalist” types. A total refusal to acknowledge that academia is not static, and new ideas are allowed gain traction.

“Wokeness” was a reaction to the unrelenting cruelty that women, gays, and minorities had to face from the jeering mainstream for most of the 80s-2000s

The tech-right's obsession with 'cracked coders' leads them to inevitable failure in areas they don't understand, because they ignore subject matter expertise, denigrate soft skills, and reject epistemic virtues like caution and humility.
@JohnDiLillo Everybody wants the cake (being an epic detached ironic shitposter who makes light of tragedies) while eating it too (my tragedies are very special and different and my feelings are very important and should be listened to).
Super cool how the tech right is so obsessed with trans people that even when someone accomplishes an incredible mathematical feat, the “real” story is how the media “lies” by not aggressively misgendering her.
