Thread - Some people are confused that "the free speech people" sometimes criticize other people or tell them to shut up. It's compatible with free and open discourse to check people who don't want free and open discourse
Here is a handy guide:
- If you criticize someone who is trying to get you or someone else fired or disbarred from a professional organization for their views, this is compatible with free and open discourse.
- If you criticize someone who is mischaracterizing you or someone else's views to make it more likely that you or someone else will get fired or removed from social media this is compatible with the aim of free and open discourse.
If you criticize someone who is making an effort to pull a book or article or to no platform someone from speaking this is compatible with the aim of free and open discourse.
- If you criticize someone who is equating you or someone else's opinion on a controversial issue with violence, murder or genocide this is compatible with the aim of free and open discourse.
If you criticize the tactics of guilt by association and the people that promote them this is compatible with the aim of free and open discourse.
If you criticize someone who is making it physically dangerous for anyone to voice their opinions (e.g. by endorsing doxxing them or punching them in the face) this is compatible with the aim of free and open discourse.

I've often seen the statistic that 40% of police are domestic abusers- the stat comes from this Neidig 1992 study. When you dig into the data, the story is much more interesting. Cops' wives and husbands are *more* violent than cops themselves. thread 🧵
policing.umhistorylabs.lsa.umich.edu/files/original…
The study asked 385 male officers, 40 female officers & 115 wives of officers whether they had engaged in "minor" or "severe" violence. Whether they perpetrated it themselves (self) or the other partner had perpetrated the violence (spouse) or whether either had (relationship)
Check out Table 2 again- Both male police officers and police officer's wives reported that wives were more likely to be the perpetrators of violence at 33%. Wives and officers also largely agreed on the rate of violence of male officers at 28% and 25%.

Many topics make a lot more sense if you understand information hazards- the recognition of an information hazard can cause a puzzling drop in epistemic standards-puzzling because honestly revealing you are trying to avoid an information hazard is itself an information hazard
Example - Race as a concept is an information hazard because it can make society more racist. So people argue against the epistemology of categorization (ie we should not categorize people even if it is informative) but they argue it without referencing the information hazard
Critical studies sees itself as morally superior because they are using rhetoric and queering epistemic standards to dismantle what they see as information hazards around predicting human behavior & enforcing hierarchy without weighting the fact they are also dismantling science
