- darkkindness 7y agoThanks for the link, I was wondering if Scott touched on this. Seems to be an adjacent topic but it's relevant nonetheless. my tldr of that post: in the context of ideological/political theory, mistake theorists are engineers who want results, conflict theorists are warmongers who want to win. Perhaps seeing bias in everything is just one of those warmongering traits -- because trust me, it's really hard to win against a neutral point of view.
