‘[I]t is unhelpful to try and reduce the depth of human experience to any singular phenomenon … . Human identities are deeply and infinitely complex, so why would we not ultimately need multiple frameworks through which to understand the concept of the “self?”’

An excellent article on the failure of #newatheism. Looks that the movement was always about anti-tendermindedness (religion, egalitarianism etc.) rather than being pro-science or even irreligious. #fundamentalism #philosophy

Christian Ott, a former Caltech professor, writes about his 2017 “cancellation.” After an investigation characterized by “postmodernist intersectional social theory,” Caltech found that he had violated Title IX and university policies by harassing grad students. Then BuzzFeed News came calling, as it would later do for Krauss. The site’s reporting “was sensationalized, superficial, and biased towards the perceived victims,” Ott complains, and it ruined him. What did BuzzFeed actually report? Ott never fully explains, but Google still exists. Ott, it turns out, had fallen in love with one of his grad students, and then fired her, and he complained obsessively about the woman to a different female student. Caltech knew this because it had Ott’s messages along with his Tumblr account, where he had published 86 poems about the student he loved. Ott does not mention his poetry, but at the end of his chapter, he does thank his wife for her support.
