Friends, let me mark the day.

After years of snarky exchanges, James Lindsay has blocked me.

What brought it on? My responding "the tears, the tears" to his concern that by not sharing his research priorities I am tragically wasting my life.

In celebration,
Woke Sauron

The exchange in question. Image
Black Saturday, 2020.

The day when I was sent to hell by Conceptual James to hang out in quiet darkness with that sweet man Jesus before I will return and rise from the Twitter dead-to-James-Lindsay.
Easter Sunday, 2020.

She has risen. Thread.

Look, if James Lindsay keeps having such an outsized impact among bigots, transphobes, white supremacists, and misogynists that says nothing, nothing at all about his intent! If you think you can talk to him about it, you are getting correlation and causation backwards! 😜
Take it from Mr. Moth.

Likewise, does it matter what Lindsay's intent is if his impact is leaning consistently towards bigotry? And he keeps denying it does? Does it matter that he thinks he's progressive ackshually, he was for gay marriage?

Not really.

Because, you know, life didn't stop, society didn't stop, the world didn't stop when, decades ago, in your youthful exuberance, you said that gay marriage should be legal when it wasn't already.

LOL. I believe he would call it fact-spreading.

You see, it's the opposite of theory-spreading.

Fact-spreading is when you've got nothing but the pant-clad shape of your biology on which to build your claims.
Wait a second!

*He* wouldn't call it fact-spreading. *I* am calling it that. I hereby declare this term copy-righted.

Watch in real time as I build my full Quilexicon! 🙃

I'm getting free, topnotch advice about my scholarly prose from someone who seems to have never published!

This nugget fills me with gratitude (watch me quote it with care 😉):

"You're supposed to be a vicious and criticize the bad ideas out of existence."

#writingstudies
The layers of metacommentary that are made possible by Alexander's stellar advice, I enjoy them so much! Nerdy, I know.

What if . . . it's the bad idea that scholars must fight viciously against each other that I want to argue out of existence?
What if, then, . . . I've already done so by writing a whole research article about it, built on evidence and full of my cutting criticism, and gotten it through peer review, too, with the help of my vicious arguments?
