> very very very very very basic intersectionism I'd be curious how many people subscribe to both intersectionalism and rationalism, I suspect it's very hard to do. I recently read an interesting take on this from Philip Telock in Superforecasting (unrelated book): Belief systems are like jenga blocks, we arrive at conclusions from myriad assumptions all stacked upon each other. It's hard to change core beliefs once they're tied to a bunch of other downstream beliefs (like blocks lower in the tower), especially if those blocks involve group identity. All this to say I suspect this thread will consist of people talking past one another because everyone's belief frameworks are very different, and language means slightly different things. E.g. the word "sexist" could refer to either the behaviors, both explicit or implicit (micro-aggressions), or the entire system as measured by outcome, depending on who you ask.
