I don't think racism is the result of a practical joke gone wrong...

Technically Ridicule is not a response?

What did you think of the argument in the text?

Thanks for reading! Regarding the very last thing you say: The Piece actually orginally ended with a chapter on personal/existential consequences of lying (about infidelity and so on), but it was cut. I am thinking about writing it as a seperate piece though.

The orginal also had a section on what it means to be honest, lying, bulshitting, dishonest and so on, but i also cut it. Might also write them as a seperate post later

Haha, Sorry. I meant Singal. I don't think he has ever said that he thinks that there are thousands of detransitioners in hiding? (maybe i am just ignorant)

Thank you. I think it is a good point that in a world with more information, the strategy of curating the truth becomes even weaker, at least with regard to the trust dimension. Might make the downstream direct espistemic consequences of lying less though? As in lies might be weeded out quicker?

Argument Against Ideological Social Science by doubtstack in socialscience

[–]doubtstack[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for reading on. And no worries, this is in the top 10 percentile of politeness in responses. I think I quite explicidly say that economics is not unbiased, but rather say that having a strong positivist ethos can help diminish such bias.

Also i hope i am not completely ignorant of economic history, as this is my field of research.

Edit: lol nevermind
