You didn't read the article, yet you want to infer the reason why Alexander did something?
If you actually read the article, he chose Murray because his opinon it fit a particular quadrant in a box chart, namely the "Pessmistic Cooperative" view on poverty. He also "associated" himself in that same diagram with Bernie Sanders, Lenin and School Lunches.
I hope you take this as a learning experience. Please read the article before jumping to conclusions.
- jmull 6y agoYou're just ignoring my question and raising various irrelevancies. > I hope you take this as a learning experience. Frankly, I think I'm learning to not bother to engage "rationalists" on the internet.
- ping_pong 6y agoI did answer your question. You completely ignored what I wrote, maybe because you don't like being proven wrong. I'm not sure if you are implying that I'm a "rationalist", but if you are, you're jumping to conclusions again. You have a glaring habit of making pretty bad assumptions and I really hope you change yourself. It's a very bad trait that appears to be pretty common in your responses. I've never heard of this blog before this article or even rationalism, but your question made me curious about why he chose to refer to Murray. But instead of just jumping to conclusions and assuming things like you, I actually bothered to read the article. This is something you didn't do. Honestly, you should learn from this.
- jmull 6y agoWell, I assure you, you’re missing my point. I guess if you’re interested, go back, read it again, and think about it in relation to the article. If not, that’s cool too.
