@EricRWeinstein @binarybits @mattyglesias I see we’ve gotten to the point where we’re not talking about the tweets anymore, which you were wrong about, but a totally other thing (biology) you’d rather be discussing. I’ll bow out now and do actual work. — PolitiTweet.org

@EricRWeinstein @binarybits @mattyglesias (I guess *technically* this is a metaphysical point, but the distinction is so slippery here in this context that I don’t feel too bad) — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@EricRWeinstein @binarybits @mattyglesias Your argument is that all people on the broader progressive left have epistemological views akin to extreme student activists. This is wrong - as I can say confidently, as one of those people - and led you to misread a banal tweet as a “stalking horse.” Own the mistake! — PolitiTweet.org

@EricRWeinstein @binarybits @mattyglesias This is where your caricature of the “political Left” gets you in trouble, Eric! If you knew Matt’s politics and interests at all, you would understand that he was making a semi-jokey observation about philosophy, not nefariously trying to cast math as imperialist or whatever. — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias Yup, see next tweet! — PolitiTweet.org

@Elan_Sykes Totally, I get that it’s the argument. It’s just that we know from real-world experiences that the tension always reemerges — PolitiTweet.org

There are actually two ideas in the “campus free speech” debate that are fundamentally at odds with each other 1. College campuses are too liberal and need to be transformed to be more friendly to conservatives 2. Campus free speech is sacrosanct and must not be interfered with — PolitiTweet.org

It probably does @safeortrue no favors for me to cite him favorably, given my reputation in IDW-land, but this is a truly excellent piece https://t.co/R5TGhGiXMW — PolitiTweet.org

People who are offended by Ilhan Omar comments and Eli Valley speeches seem to get the most riled up about kids and their trigger warnings and identity politics. People who say Jews offended by Omar’s Israel comments should chill out end up siding with student protestors. — PolitiTweet.org

Nothing like an anti-Semitism conversation to expose the oceans of bad faith and selective outrage in the free speech/political correctness conversation — PolitiTweet.org

@jonathanchait @mattyglesias The column calls for the speech to be cancelled. She tweeted it approvingly. Seems inconsistent! — PolitiTweet.org
