Your actions contradict your words though. None of what this guy said about education matters to you because ideas from "this kind of person" is the overwhelming factor to you. Who cares if he has a point about college if he doesnt towe the feminist line, basically.
- woodruffw 10y agoMy actions are commensurate with my words. I don't ask that he be censored - I ask that his status as an intellectual hack be considered, and that we recognize that his writings on education are informed by his much more onerous positions. We don't debate round-earth denialists, since we know that their only motive in debate is to maximize their audience and legitimacy. It doesn't matter whether they're actually talking about their ungrounded views in a particular instance, because all that matters is that they gain legitimacy to be spent later. You're the one who keeps bringing up feminism and social justice, not me. Have you considered that you're trying to imply an ulterior motive that doesn't exist? Every movement has its fair share of people just like Devin Helton.
- overgard 10y agoHeh, the whole "you care more about this than I do" defense. Glad were back in third grade. I feel so young. Seriously your point is essentially elitism right? You can see that cant you? The only people worth hearing are the ones with the "right" views. Weirdly as an adult, I can recognize that the author has some interesting views on education while also having some (alleged) viewpoints about women I dont share.
