I believe that there's one big flaw in this essay, and it's these two sentences: But they can't overcome orthodox privilege just by learning more. They'd have to become more independent-minded. I don't necessarily disagree, but from reading a few comments here, I believe that they are counter-productive in so far that nobody likes to think of themselves as somebody who isn't independent-minded. When somebody now reads about something they haven't experienced (having opinions they know they can't share without undue pushback) and then goes on to read that this is because they're not "independent-minded", it'll automatically trigger their ego-defenses, making it hard for them to even accept that the author isn't just arguing in bad faith because their horrific beliefs are rejected, and at the same time makes them double down in the belief that there is no such thing as an Orthodox Privilege.
