I don't think I said anything even remotely close to that? Please don't put words in my mouth.

I'm afraid this is all a bit abstract for me. Perhaps reifying the discussion will help us come to a more agreeable conclusion. Can you share an example of a person who has been cancelled solely for making a fact claim?
- david927 6y agoI'll quote you, "... the person said something that clustered with things said by a lot of silly people. It is rational (in a Bayesian sense) to take that as evidence that the person making the statement is also silly."
- asdfasgasdgasdg 6y agoSo, in that quote, I discussed how it was reasonable to react to a particular claim of fact in a particular way. How did you make the leap from me talking about a reaction to a single exemplar to me accepting all current orthodox beliefs as absolutely true?
