APA 2.0 Gaining Some Traction?
I've mentioned this idea here before...and, incidentally, I'm the first one I know of to do so...which...means very little. Any familiarity with the APA blog would naturally drive the inquiring mind to think: this shit is whack.
Obviously the lefties that have politicized APA 1.0 would try to ruin APA 2.0, too...but that doesn't matter much. It's not suppose to be an eternal answer to academic totalitarianism...just the next answer.
Also, said loons would use use membership in APA 2.0 against job candidates, whereas members of APA 2.0 would be more-or-less bound by principle not to do something analogous... So that's a problem, too.
Details, details.
Right now I'm just happy that people are even talking about this.
Note that over 65% of people who took the poll said they'd definitely or probably leave the current, loony That's...maybe about twice as many as I might have thought...so...that's encouraging.

What's actually quite encouraging to me is only 10% replied definitely not, which I assume is a reasonable upper bound on the number of actual activist crazies in philosophy. It goes to show how marginal they are on a percentage basis. But that isn't the real issue, it's how much leverage they have. And as long as sane liberals vainly consider covering for them as a way to stay ahead of moral trends, they'll be able to punch way above their weight.
If 65% would leave APA 1.0, then 65% can agree on a slate of candidates to reform APA 1.0. Right?

Yeah, I realized the same thing after finishing the post...pretty obvious, really. Derp.
