@JamesSurowiecki @ijbailey It's not. It's a description of the costs of her actions and why I find them unfortunate. But I don't think anyone should be angry with her or that she acted unethically or immorally. Just unwisely. Not all criticism is an attack. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @JamesSurowiecki They've expressed their belief that there was a benefit but they haven't shown persuasive evidence of one any more than you've shown persuasive evidence that you have new appreciation of her artistry. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey I already answered a question you asked after mine. Answer my question and I'll answer another one of yours. Unless you don't actually appreciate her artistry more now, and mistakenly thought otherwise because you like the politics of what she did... — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@JamesSurowiecki @ijbailey I'm not attacking her. She was and remains one of my favorite artists and I'll always love her. I think she made the wrong call here for reasons I articulated. That's not an attack, just my truthful assessment that what she did had some costs and zero benefit. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey I wouldn't appreciate the songs any less if she went on a murder spree. But you said you appreciate her artistry more now. So which songs? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey What songs in particular do you appreciate more now? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey A deeper appreciation for her politics perhaps, but not for her artistry. On the margins, she moved away from art that can unite all sorts of people and toward a polarizing culture war that this whole controversy has exacerbated without doing any good at all. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey "Need" is a stronger claim than I made. Her fans will find her, but this will cause fewer casual listeners to sample or stumble on her work. That's a shame and a cost, and there is no attendant benefit to her choice here that I see — PolitiTweet.org

@ericlinuskaplan My original Tweet said: "Proposition: Joni Mitchell makes excellent, affecting art and significantly reducing the number of people with access to it has a negative influence on the world." That proposition doesn't hinge on Mitchell's morality one way or another. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ericlinuskaplan We agree that JM is allowed to pull her music. We disagree about whether doing so was wise and perhaps about whether integrity demands it. I say no, it does not, and that the world w/o her on Spotify is worse than the world with her on Spotify. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ericlinuskaplan So you think e.g. Dolly Parton and Kendrick Lamar lack integrity? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ericlinuskaplan Do you think that allowing Spotify to stream ones music lacks integrity in a way that's analogies to taking mafia money? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
It makes me feel sad that Joni Mitchell erroneously thinks that she can do more good by reducing the reach of her life's work. — PolitiTweet.org

Do you regard "medical misinformation" as distinct from other kinds of misinformation? If so, why? — PolitiTweet.org

@bksnav @StrangelEdweird Okay, if there's a record store and a Planned Parenthood in a mall should pro life people look down on the record store? — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@bksnav @StrangelEdweird So if you run a record store, and across the mall there's a giant Whole Foods supermarket that's one of the Mall's anchors, is your record store associated with Whole Foods and complicit in bad things that it does? — PolitiTweet.org

Making policy in the United States is more like making policy in the EU than it is in making policy in a relatively small, relatively homogeneous EU state, and I think we might do better if policymakers chose their course with our limitations in mind. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
This in turn raises a question: is a country as big and geographically dispersed and as ethnically diverse as the United States capable of achieving trust levels similar to a Denmark or a South Korea? I don't think so. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
Ezra summarizes: "Moving every country up to the 75th percentile in trust in government—where Denmark sits —would have prevented 13 % of global infections. Moving every country to the 75th percentile of trust in fellow citizens — South Korea’s level—would have prevented 40%" — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
One striking outcome: "trust in government" and "trust in fellow citizens" were among the most important factors (more important than "trust in science," among many other things) — PolitiTweet.org

I'm not an epidemiologist, but I can't help but wonder if the best way to address the centuries-old, multinational problem of irrational vaccine skepticism is to stream your folk-rock catalog exclusively on Apple Music. — PolitiTweet.org
