7 Expert Opinions I Agree With (That Most People Don't) - Scott H Young

Following my mind-is-a-computer essay, I cover seven other popular-among-experts-but-widely-disbelieved opinions I agree with!

Scott H Young
Some gender activists use smears and violence to shut down their critics.

"True facts can be hyperstitious slurs. “Black people commit more crime” is a hyperstitious slur, in the sense that racists talk about it more than non-racists, this helps it become a signal for racism, the fact that it’s a known signal for racism causes non-racists to talk about it even less than they would otherwise, and the vicious cycle ends with it being a very strong signal for racism and non-racists avoiding mentioning it."

Confused by Labour's #Brexit position?

Today @[email protected] told me:
🔹He's NOT sitting on the fence.
🔹His position ISN'T muddled.
🔹But when I asked EIGHT TIMES if he's pro-Remain or pro-Leave, he wouldn't say.

Just finished watching this. I have pretty much no disagreements with what @[email protected] says (and I suspect @[email protected] won't either). The following excerpt says it all for me: "we must take evolution out of the driver seat and we must put ourselves".
