There's far less justification for inventing a conversion out of whole cloth.
- SoftTalker 2y agoObama and Clinton changed their minds on gay marriage.
- recursive 2y agoDo believe that's evidence that Fisher changed his mind on eugenics? Why do you bring that up?
- SoftTalker 2y agoIt's evidence that people can hold opinions that while perhaps mainstream at the time, in retrospect decide they are not well founded, and reconsider them. I have no idea about Fisher specifically. I hadn't really heard of him until this was posted. Eugenics was popular among a lot of academics in the early 20th century however.

- recursive 2y agoAgain, if you can provide some kind of comprehensible reasoning why that's actually the case, your insightful comment would be more persuasive.
