Do you have an example of one of these ‘philosophy graduates’ you’re describing?
The only person I’m closely aware of here is Timnit Gebru. She has a bachelors and masters in Electrical Engineering as well as a PhD. If you’re describing her and her ilk as ‘philosophy graduates’ because they have PhDs, I think you’re vastly mischaracterizing their education.
- Lukas_Skywalker 6y agoMaybe your parent commenter confuses PhD ("Doctor of Philosophy") with a graduation in philosophy?
- daniel957 6y agoNo, he was just being a racist, misogynistic ass.
- daniel957 6y agoNot sure why this is getting downvotes. When people say things like that, they’re usually racist and misogynistic. His comment was flagged for a reason.
- lawnchair_larry 6y agoAn absurd and highly inappropriate comment. You’re the first to bring up race. There is absolutely no reason to infer that parent has any issue with race or sex whatsoever.
- daniel957 6y agoIt’s called a dog whistle. You don’t have to specifically mention race or gender in order to imply something about it. It’s not inappropriate. I didn’t flag his comment. Someone else did. It should have been flagged and rightfully was. I think your points would come across better if you didn’t use such extreme words (absurd, highly inappropriate, absolutely). It’s your opinion, not a fact. I also find it funny that _my_ comment is highly inappropriate but the actual comment that was flagged is not? Why do you think that? I’m assuming you didn’t get a chance to read it, which begs the question, “Why did you feel the need to champion this cause?”
- im3w1l 6y agoYou are just a name calling bully, inventing accusations out of thin air and it's shameful that HN tolerates it.
- daniel957 6y agoAgain, why are you championing the writer of a flagged comment? Like I said, I didn’t flag the comment. So clearly other people agree with me and saw what I saw. Sorry if that’s hard for you to swallow.
- ruslanbogan 6y agoMore likely it was flagged by the aforementioned academics rather than people like you imagining dog whistles that aren't there. hth
- daniel957 6y agoAlso, ruslanbogan’s comment did mention race which confirms for me that you didn’t even read it. It accused the researchers of being racist towards if statements. (Please tell me you find that more absurd than what I wrote lol.) Again, why are you championing this cause when you’re clearly wrong?

- Footkerchief 6y agoThe original comment said "who think if statements are racist." That was the comment that brought up race, as a strawman no less.

- koreanguy 6y agoTimnit Gebru is just another racist, who uses her race card when she can't do her job. there are many like her in all types of jobs when things do not go well for them they bring out the racism card. i am sick of the bs
- daniel957 6y agoThe article only briefly mentioned Timnit. Your comment is disturbing on several levels.
