Reading this is both painful & exhilarating. Chotiner quickly drills down to the essence of Epstein's argument which amounts to crude law and economics style bullshit applied to a subject he knows little about, but flatters himself he knows a lot about. newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/t…
2/ Epstein then resorts to the kind of deflection and smarty-pants word noise that highly educated people excel at. But Chotiner won't let him up off the matt. His claims abt viral adaptation are a classic example of a little knowledge being a dangerous thing.
By any rational standard this should be the epitaph or perhaps the death warrant for a generation of law and economics types. (And yes, I know there are more subtle, intelligent version of it. But a lot of it is this.)
