I do not think science has anything to do with it. My impression of Charles is he is liberal in the classical sense of the word, not the modern American sense (loosely related to the left side of the political spectrum). So I am not surprised he is picking fights with the Right as well as the Left.
(Disclaimer: I never read the comment threads on LGF, only his postings. The threads I saw were dreadful to me.)
- hga 17y agoHe may style himself as a "liberal in the classical sense of the word", but his behavior is pretty illiberal in the old sense of the word, e.g. see Tangurena's comment on his dedication to open discourse or rather lack thereof. He also has too many fixations that are characteristic of the Left/new style liberals for me to take that self-characterization very seriously.
